MWS Devices Wireless Network

The MWS-Devices wireless network is available throughout the College. This network is primarily intended for University members who need to connect devices that are unable to use the standard Eduroam wireless service.

As the network uses a shared network key rather than individual username and password authentication (802.1x), it is suitable for devices such as:

  • Games consoles
  • Printers
  • Streaming devices
  • Smart TVs and other IoT devices

Devices connected using the same network key are also able to communicate with each other over the network. This allows features such as:

  • Printing wirelessly from a laptop to a personal printer
  • Casting or streaming content from a mobile device to a smart TV or media device

Before connecting to the network, you must first generate a personal network key. This can only be completed while connected to the University network, either:

  • Through the University VPN
  • Using a shared College computer

Further information about the MWS-Devices service, including instructions for generating your personal key, can be found here:
