Wireless On Campus

PAWS Wireless The PAWS wireless network covers most of campus including the libraries, most of the schools and colleges, the dining halls, the SLC, Tate, Ramsey, and select green spaces. A student needs a 802.11b/g compatible wireless network card and a MyID in order to access the wireless network.

What Do I Need to Connect to PAWS?

A student will need a 802.11 B or G compatible wireless network card and a MyID in order to connect. Consult the PAWS website for more information.

How Do I Configure My Computer to Connect?

The device will need to be set up for DHCP. Instructions on configuring your wireless network card can be found below and on the PAWS website.

Where can I connect to the PAWS network?

You can connect from almost anywhere on campus. The good folks at Student Technology Support have created an updated wireless map for you to reference. The official map can be found on the PAWS website.

Is PAWS Downtown?

No, but there is another wireless zone called The Cloud at Athens which is run by the New Media Institute at UGA. You can use your MyID to login to The Cloud just as you do with PAWS. If you have trouble logging in then visit their website and create an account. The Cloud covers the downtown streets, and is a free service NMI provides to the Athens community.
