The Division of IT provides wireless connections accessible from most campus buildings.
The MU wireless network is for use by University faculty, staff, and students for education, research, and administration. Features include:
- Authenticated network access using your MU ID (username) and password.
- Secure information transmission via advanced encryption methods.
- The ability to print to network printers without using VPN
A guest network is also available for short-term use by university guests with a department sponsor.
The TigerWiFi-Guest network is designed and operated for the benefit of university guests and visiting scholars (with a department sponsor) who need short-term access to wireless. It is not designed to handle a large number of users or to provide high levels of availability. Long-term university guests should obtain a username in order to use the wireless network for the duration of their visit.
Once configured, your wireless device should automatically connect when TigerWiFi is in range. If it does not, you can select the wireless network from your list of available wireless networks.
The campus standard is 802.11g/n/ac.
See the KnowledgeBase for instructions on configuring TigerWiFi on your Eof The Mizzou Store for personal assistance.
The Guest network is available for short-term use by university guests with a department sponsor. A WPA2-PSK key is required to connect to this network. Please contact the sponsoring department’s IT Pro to obtain the WPA2-PSK key. The key is changed regularly.
Long-term university guests should obtain a username in order to use the wireless network for the duration of their visit. Contact the sponsoring department’s IT Pro to request a 30-day guest username for non-university-affiliated persons.
The University of Missouri has joined the eduroam community to provide Wi-Fi access while traveling to participating institutions. MU faculty, staff and students can use their UserID and password to access wireless networks on eduroam affiliated campuses, including many US and international institutions.
Eduroam is available here at MU to users from other universities that are also members of eduroam.
Only visitors to MU from federated campuses should use the eduroam network; by design, access to MU-specific resources is prevented. All active faculty, staff and students with current UserID and password should continue to use TigerWiFi, not eduroam.
Users should contact Tech Support before traveling to get set up prior to their trip. If help is needed while traveling, Tech Support can also assist.
