Wireless

Below are some frequently asked questions that we often receive.

What networks are on the campus?

There are 3 wireless networks on Missouri Southern's campus. 

Southern - used on the campus side. Can be used by students and employees.

LionWiFi - used on the dorm side. Can be used by students living in the dorms.

the guest network - used on both the campus and dorm sides. Can be used by anyone visiting Missouri Southern.

 

Which network do I use?

If you are a guest, use the guest network. If you are a student or employee, use Southern for the campus and LionWiFi for the dorms.

 

How do I connect to the network?

These networks will prompt you for your login credentials. Once you fill out that portion, you will then be connected to the network.
