MU-Gaming Wi-Fi Option Going Away May 23
As part of an initiative to improve the overall security, features, and performance of the Miami Wi-Fi infrastructure, IT Services will be removing the MU-Gaming option from the Miami Wi-Fi environment on Friday, May 23.
Users of this Wi-Fi service will need to use the MiamiOH-MyDevices network at that point. For additional information about registering to and using MiamiOH-MyDevices, please visit MiamiOH.edu/wifi.
Nearly all devices that allow you to use personal Wi-Fi features will work on MiamiOH-MyDevices. These devices may include:
- Apple devices using Apple's sharing services, e.g., iPhones, Apple watches, iPads, AppleTV, etc
- Google Chromecast, Roku, Amazon Fire TV Stick
- Devices that require a network password and name, which may include:
- Smart light bulbs
- Digital assistants (e.g., Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomePod)
Please read the instructions carefully and register your devices at the MiamiOH-MyDevices registration portal.
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!
IT Services is in the midst of a multi-year upgrade to Miami’s entire Wi-Fi system. It is being done in phases, and when completed, it will provide a faster and more personalized experience for users. Check out MiamiOH.edu/wifi for more information about Miami’s Wi-Fi environment.
