The Wi-Fi network is only designed to operate in the above areas. Due to the nature of Wi-Fi, you may find that you can also pick up a signal in areas close to those listed above. However, any access outside of the above areas is not officially supported by the College (meaning that it may or may not work, and we will not be able to offer any help getting it working).

Use by University of Oxford members

University of Oxford members will first require an Oxford Remote Access username and password (you may already have one for VPN usage). You then need to visit http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/wireless/ for instructions on setting up your wireless device for eduroam.

Use by Visitors to Magdalen

Wi-Fi is only available to visitors who are staying in Magdalen accommodation, or who are visiting for official business, not to tourists. You may use existing eduroam credentials from your home organisation if you have them - see http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/wireless/services/eduroam/. Alternatively, if you have an Oxford Visitor Network username and password (for example from a conference organiser), you can use that to connect to OWL - see http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/wireless/services/owl/visitor/.
