RESIDENCE HALLS:
Wireless Network – Students can connect their mobile devices, gaming consoles, streaming devices, and smart TVs using the SMSU MyWifi.

Any unregistered devices connecting to the network will fail to gain Internet access. Workgroup switches may work to add additional Ethernet ports in a residence hall room.
Gaming & Internet TV Devices on the Network
Note:
- All rooms in Sweetland Hall are equipped with active wired connection jacks at the bottom of the Mist Access Points on the wall.
- Please refrain from using such devices as ‘personal WIFI routers’ and ‘hotspots’ while in the Residence Halls as they can interfere with the campus WIFI network and reduce the quality of service for everyone. Note that wireless printing capability is not supported in the Residence Hall network.
