New ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Wi-Fi Options Now Available
New ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Wi-Fi Options Now Available
As part of a larger initiative to improve the overall security, features, and performance of the ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Wi-Fi infrastructure, IT Services over the summer made some enhancements to the available Wi-Fi networks you see on your wireless devices.
There are three new SSIDs (service set identifier) or network names now available. They are ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH-Secure, ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH-Visitor, and ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH-MyDevices.
¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH-Secure is the eventual replacement for the current MU-WIRELESS and provides increased security standards and leverages enhanced capabilities.
It is recommended that all ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ students, faculty, and staff use this new network while on campus, although MU-WIRELESS will remain active for the near future. You are able to log in to the new network the same as MU-WIRELESS, by using your UniqueID and MUnet password.
¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH-Visitor is replacing MU-Guest. This network is available for those visiting ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ who do not have ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ network credentials but desire access to Wi-Fi while visiting one of our campuses.
MU-Gaming should continue to be used for gaming and television streaming devices, like Xbox or Roku. However, some devices and Wi-Fi services will not work on MU-GAMING, so you will need to use the new ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH-MyDevices network. If you try to add your device to MU-GAMING and are unsuccessful, or if you need to control your digital assistant or streaming TV device with your phone, ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH-MyDevices will need to be used. In this case, your phone will also need to be registered with the ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH-MyDevices network. To register your device for MU-GAMING or ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH-MyDevices, please go to ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH.edu/wifi.
IT Services is also no longer providing the MU-EVENT Wi-Fi option for special events. Anyone that is visiting a ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ campus and not officially affiliated with the university should use either ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒOH-Visitor or eduroam.
IT Services is in the midst of a multi-year upgrade to ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ’s entire Wi-Fi system. It is being done in phases, and when completed, it will provide a faster and more personalized experience for users.
