Overview
URHome is a wireless network broadcast located in the residence halls. It is designed to provide a local network capable of supporting multiple personal devices with the use of a single access key. URHome should be used for gaming systems and other smart connected devices.
Note: URHome uses residence hall registration information to approve device connections. Devices will only connect successfully in the residence hall a student is registered in.
