The University of Miami provides four wireless networks for the University community:
UM students should only connect to the University's secure wireless network via CaneNet Wireless, UM faculty and staff at the Coral Gables/Marine campuses should connect via UMiamiWireless, and UM faculty and staff at the UHealth/MSOM campus (including the Lennar Foundation Medical Center and satellite locations) should connect via SecureCanes—these three networks provide encryption for wireless communications, making it safer to use wireless devices (such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets).
CanesGuest is an open (does not require a password), unsecured, and unencrypted network.
To connect to a UM wireless network, all that is needed is a device with an 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n or 802.11ac wireless LAN card. You can surf the Internet, check email, and much more from anywhere within our wireless clouds at the Coral Gables, Marine, and UHealth/MSOM campuses.
For additional wireless information and support, please contact the UMIT Service Desk (Coral Gables/Marine campuses) at 305-284-6565 or help@miami.edu., or the UHealth IT Help Desk (UHealth/MSOM campus) at 305-243-5999 or help@med.miami.edu.
