Connect to Xfinity WiFi with your myBama username and password. Do not use hotspots or bring wireless routers, as this causes significant interference with UA’s wireless network. For internet issues, contact the Office of Information Technology at 205-348-5555 or itsd.ua.edu. When reporting a wireless issue, please be prepared to provide your name, myBama username, location and device you are using.
All residents have access to Xfinity On Campus, a streaming TV solution with over 220 live TV channels, along with OnDemand content and DVR. Residents can access this service on laptops, desktops, mobile devices, and other compatible devices. To stream on a traditional TV, use Roku, Chromecast, or select Samsung or LG Smart TVs. You will need to provide your own television and/or streaming device. If you are in a shared room, we suggest communicating with your roommate to decide who will bring a TV.
