Internet

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.

For eduroam2 wireless network configuration.

For the wireless network connection of a desktop computer to the eduroam2 wireless network, please note that you can find a reasonably priced "wireless USB" or "wireless PCIe" adapter from your preferred vendor which will enable your device to connect successfully.

For the wireless network connection of a game console, a TV or any other type of device for which the connection does not work with the eduroam2 wireless network, know that it is possible to do it quite simply with the UL_Visiteur_Guest2 wireless network. Contact us for more information.

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.

Cabled Internet service is no longer available for new subscriptions.

Please note that the eduroam2 wireless network is the preferred option for Internet access for students and members of the university community. The eduroam2 wireless network is available free of charge, is offered in all residence halls and the performance is now faster than the cabled Internet service. For more information about the eduroam2 wireless network connection.

The cabled Internet service will soon be decommissioned. All subscribers will be notified at least 30 days before the planned decommissioning date.
