Hello,

We have a central IT managed WiFi network across the campus.

They use WPA2 Enterprise and have a secured network and a guest network.

For the secured network a UofM ID is required to login. The guest network is open but limited.

Over the spring/summer, when we have short-stay guests or conference guests stay in our residence buildings, the guest network wasn’t sufficient, so we have 1000’s of ID’s based on the building, and room etc that we loan out. We have new ones for each month so there’s less chance of abuse.

Central IT has improved the quality of the guest network over the years. It wasn’t very usable initially.

They want us to switch over to the guest network so that we all don’t have to manage all of these accounts.

Do any of you have short-stay and/or conference guests stay in your residence buildings?

How do you handle it granting them Internet access?
