High speed wired connections are available in all of the rooms and study rooms. Computers or devices must be configured to obtain an IP address automatically. Please maintain one connection per jack.
Wireless Network Connections (Wi-Fi)
| PerunaNet | PerunaNet is available in all of the residence halls, fraternity houses and a few sorority houses. This is the secured wireless network and should be used if your device supports the configuration. |
|---|---|
| SMU_Guest | SMU_Guest is the unsecured wireless network. It can be used for devices that do not support the security configuration on PerunaNet. |
For more information, please see the Wi-Fi service page.
Devices Connections
| Printers | Printers can not be joined to PerunaNet as that would allow everyone to print to your printer! Please use a printer cable. |
|---|---|
| Cell Phone Signal | If you do not have a strong cell phone signal in your room, please contact your cell phone provider for a cell phone extender. These have to be registered on the Wired network before they will work. SMU is in the process of building a Distributed Antenna System to address cell phone coverage issues throughout campus. |
| Chromecast | Chromecast devices will not work on the network even if they are registered. |
