Access to high-speed internet is critical for remote instruction and online classes. While some students have decided to stay on-campus and in the East Lansing area, others have decided to return to their primary residences where internet capabilities are outside of the university’s control. If you are unable to access the internet at any time, refer to the information below.

Accessing Internet On-Campus or in the Surrounding Area

There are two locations on campus open to students to use for internet access.

Accessing Internet Away from Campus

If you don't have access to internet at your primary residence, consider these tips:

1) Use Your Internet Service Provider's Hotspots

One simple way to find Wi-Fi away from home is to use your home provider. For example, if you’re a Comcast user, you will have access to Xfinity Wi-Fi networks when traveling. For most ISP networks, check their Wi-Fi page on the main site or download their hotspot app. Find a hotspot by entering an address or form of location. Then connect to your ISP’s available hotspots.

Helpful ISP hotspot pages:

Microsoft one drive

2) Use Your Phone as a Hotspot

This is also known as tethering. Some carriers have restrictions on how much data can be used for tethering or charged for using the feature, so be sure to check with your provider.

Common wireless service providers:

  • Verizon: 1-800-922-0204
  • AT&T: 1-800-288-2020
  • Sprint: 1-844-764-8359
  • T-Mobile: 1-800-937-8997

Public Wi-Fi: How to Stay Safe

If you choose to use public Wi-Fi, consider taking these appropriate steps to protect yourself:

  • Keep antivirus installed and up to date
  • Use a VPN
  • Be skeptical if it’s too easy to connect (ex. no agreement page)
  • Only browse on HTTPS websites
  • Refrain from accessing confidential data (ex. bank account)
  • Avoid performing online transactions
  • Verify popular Wi-Fi networks are correct (ex. Starbucks WiFi vs. Free Starbucks WiFi)
  • Always make sure paid Wi-Fi is legitimate and use a third-party payment system
  • Cover your keyboard when entering any passwords or credentials
  • If the connection is slow, it could be due to the device rerouting to the hacker’s access point

Eduroam

If you are near a college campus that is not MSU, you may be able to use your MSU credentials to access Wi-Fi via eduroam, which is a world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. Visit https://www.eduroam.org/where/ to find a map of global locations and learn how to use this resource. If you choose to use this resource and visit a location where eduroam may be available to you, it is important that you ensure that this location is safe and you are able to maintain social distancing.

Eduroam is a wireless network access service that allows global Wi-Fi compatibility between academic institutions and organizations. Students, researchers, staff, and faculty from a participating institution can access the wireless networks of any other participating institution by using their home institution’s credentials.

This means that visitors to MSU have easy access to Wi-Fi while on campus, and the MSU community has easy access when visiting other institutions across the world!
