Internet

Reliable high-speed cable Internet is available in all rooms.

Campus wireless network 

All Université Laval students have automatic access to the university’s wireless network. This free service is provided by la DTI, the Direction des Technologies de l'Information. The network is designed for course- and teaching-related communications.

Speed can vary with the number of users on the system.

 

Using a wireless router or repeater

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, 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.
