Please note: If you need to control your digital assistant or streaming TV device with your phone, your phone will also need to be registered with the MiamiOH-MyDevices network. Think of your phone as just another device in your list of smart home tools!

A note about MU-Gaming

IT Services has been working hard to improve the overall security, features, and performance of the Miami Wi-Fi infrastructure. In previous years, we have offered a network called MU-Gaming for game consoles and some smart home devices. That network is going away at the end of the Spring 2025 semester. 

Users of the MU-Gaming Wi-Fi service who have not yet moved their devices will need to use the MiamiOH-MyDevices network.
