PerunaNet

PerunaNet is the preferred secure wireless network available only to 51²è¹Ý faculty, staff, and students, with an active 51²è¹Ý ID and password.

• In order to connect to PerunaNet, your device must be configured properly. Even if the device detects PerunaNet, it may not connect automatically without changes to the default configuration.
• PerunaNet is available throughout campus and is the secured wireless network. This is the recommended network for all mobile devices on campus.
• PerunaNet connections have access to a wide range of resources restricted to 51²è¹Ý. 
• Mobile devices may connect to PerunaNet provided they are configured with the appropriate security type.

51²è¹Ý_Guest

51²è¹Ý_Guest offers both long-term accounts as well as short-term, self-provisioned accounts.

• This network is broadcast in all buildings on the main campus. It is not available at this time on East Campus.
• Devices can connect automatically to the 51²è¹Ý_Guest network. They will be redirected to a portal page to either log in with the appropriate credentials or create an account using their email address. The system then sends the password to the email address. The customer can then authenticate to the wireless network using that information. The self-provisioned account is valid for 72 hours.
• Individuals with an 51²è¹Ý ID and password cannot authenticate to this network using those credentials. We strongly encourage anyone with 51²è¹Ý credentials to connect to PerunaNet.
• For individuals needing to connect for longer than 72 hours, the IT Help Desk can create a sponsored wireless account. Once authenticated, the device should remain authorized on the network until the account expiration date is reached.
• This network is also available for devices that can not support the PerunaNet security configuration. These devices include Smart TVs, Paperwhite Kindles, and more. Such devices must be registered first in order to connect to 51²è¹Ý_Guest. Please visit smu.edu/GameConsole for more information.

eduroam

eduroam is available in all locations on campus.

eduroam is a secure worldwide federated wireless network for individuals in higher education or research environments. This large-scale collaboration between the hundreds of institutions allows individuals to authenticate to the “eduroam” network using their university account and password wherever this network is broadcasting.

For example, an 51²è¹Ý faculty, staff, or student could access the eduroam network at another university by authenticating using their 51²è¹Ý credentials. This collaboration also allows visiting scholars and researchers to connect to our eduroam Wi-Fi using their university credentials. To authenticate, a user should use their primary email address, such as cuser@smu.edu, for the username.

eduroam is a secured guest wireless network that has limited access to recourses on the 51²è¹Ý Campus. To have full access to campus resources while on campus, 51²è¹Ý Faculty, Staff, and students are encouraged to use PerunaNet.
