Network Wireless

What Is the Service?

MSU Information Technology offers network consulting, engineering, and installation services for MSU departments and units on and off campus. Network services include wired and wireless network design and installation.

Departments may request changes and additions to wired or wireless networking service. Departmental wireless networks are various custom wireless networks for university needs across campus. These are limited to MSU IT deployment in specific areas for specific purposes in collaboration with MSU departments.

The primary MSU wired and Wi-Fi network is available across campus and is accessed by those with MSU NetIDs. This network requires DHCP registration of the system with the network and MSU NetID login. The MSUnet Wireless Guest network is intended for use by visitors and users without an MSU NetID.
