All Université Laval students have automatic access to the university’s wireless network. This free service is provided by la Direction des Technologies de l'Information. It is designed for course and teaching related communications.

Speed can vary with the number of users on the system.

In order to ensure residents of the Residence Service have the best possible Internet accessibility via the wireless network provided free of charge by Laval University, we remind you that using a router or wireless repeater is prohibited by the Règlement sur l'utilisation responsable des technologies de l'information de l’Université Laval (PDF) (In French), line 4.2, article 3:

• 4.2.3   Les membres doivent agir de façon à ne pas nuire à l’accessibilité et à la performance des technologies de l’information de l’Université.

If the performance of the wireless network seems inadequate in your room for your academic activities, contact us, we will be happy to look at it with you to try to find a solution. We are here to help you. A personal router may be used with management approval only, and subject to certain technical restrictions. Contact us for more information.

To subscribe to the cabled Internet service in residences at a cost of 20 $ / month, please complete this form. 

Please note that the eduroam2 wireless network, available free of charge, offers good performance and extensive coverage and is the preferred option for accessing the Internet from your room. For more information about the eduroam2 wireless network connection.

When the modernization of the eduroam2 wireless network is completed in all the residence pavillions, the cabled Internet service will eventually be decommissioned. All subscribers will be notified at least 30 days before the planned decommissioning date.

To connect a desktop computer to the wireless network, there are reasonably priced USB or PCIe adapters that you can find from your preferred vendor.
