About using Wi-Fi on campus

Unitec students can access Wi-Fi for free on both Unitec campuses, Mt Albert and Waitakere. 

The recommended network for students is Unitec E-Learn – this is for student’s personal devices and is compatible with most devices.

Wi-Fi signal

Like all WiFi networks the signal can fluctuate depending on demand, so timing and proximity to classes may affect a signal, but be fine at other times. Your device will indicate how strong the Wi-Fi signal is.
