Connecting to the NMU WiFi using the "NMU_WPA" Network

The NMU_WPA is the currently recommended network for Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android Devices. This network may not work on most smart home devices, gaming console's, smart TVs, or printers. It is currently known to only be compatible with the latest versions of iOS, Android, Windows, and MacOS.

Please keep in mind the following things when connecting to the NMU_WPA:

  • Whenever you are asked for a "Username" your "Username" will always be the first part of your email (everything up to the @ symbol). For example: jsmith@nmu.edu, the username is: jsmith.
  • You must be on-campus and able to see the "NMU_WPA" WiFi Network from your list of options in order to connect to it.
  • Your NMU account must be active in order to connect your devices. 
  • There is no limit to the number of computers or phones you can connect using the NMU_WPA.
  • Please note that your NMU ID (AKA: "username") will be attached to each device you register, and you will be responsible for the actions performed using those device(s), including those that violate NMU's copyright and acceptable use policies.
  • Most smart-home devices (such as: internet connected speakers, printers, Alexa speakers, etc) are meant to work on a small home network rather than a large campus or business network and may be incapable of connecting to the NMU_WPA. 
  • Any device that has it's own form of WiFi router or WiFi network that is shown for others to connect to will not work with our system. That includes some wireless speakers, such as Sonos, some smart home devices, some WiFi printers, and more.
