How do I connect my personal device (mobile phone, tablet, etc) to the Wi-Fi?
If you are at the Medical Education Building (MEB - 625 Shadow Lane), connect to the KSOM BYOD network.
If you are at any UNLV Health location, connect to the UNLVMED BYOD network.
Both of these networks require your SOM account credentials.

When you change your SOM password, you must forget the BYOD Wi-Fi network on any personal devices you have connected. Forget the network and reconnect with your new password. Be sure to do this right away to avoid being locked out of your account. https://unlvsom.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/17/article/1337393156?src=1728051363 |
