Wi-Fi network

The SMC_WIFI wireless network provides internet access to current students and employees who properly set up their personal wi-fi enabled device, such as a portable computer or mobile phone.

Wireless access points are in all SMC buildings and most large outside areas.

Only web access is allowed (http and https). The wireless network does not allow any non-web services such as telnet, FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, etc.

1. Double-check your network settings, especially the EAP setting of "PEAP".
2. Type your SMC username and password when requested on your device to make sure any password manager is using your current login credentials.
3. If you need to double-check your login credentials by logging in to a different network, visit an SMC computer center(wired) or use a cellular phone network.
4. Try closing and restarting web browsers.
5. Try clearing your web browser cache (history and cookies).
6. Firewall or security software you might have installed on your device can prevent you from accessing the network. Do not use any non-SMC proxy server, nameserver or gateway.
7. Some interior walls may block wi-fi signals.
8. If you think an SMC wi-fi access point might have malfunctioned but you have been able to log on elsewhere at SMC, please contact us to let us know. Please report the campus name and either the outdoor area or the building & room number.
