The LionNet-Managed network is for domain-managed devices only. Uour university-issued laptop will automatically connect to the network when it is within range.

The LionNet network is for students, faculty and staff who bring their own personal device (i.e. phone, tablet or laptop). When you connect to this network for the first time, you will be asked to log in. You will need to use the same credentials that you use to log in to any campus-managed computer or your MyLEO account.

The LionNet-Guest network is intended for campus visitors who do not have a login account with the university (i.e. parents of students, friends and contractors). The user will need to provide an email address and unique password for accessing this wireless service. It can be a Gmail, Yahoo or other email account.

Eduroam is a globally recognized Wi-Fi network for university systems. It allows students or faculty from one university to use their guest institution’s Wi-Fi with their host institution’s credentials. Any currently enrolled student or faculty/staff member can use this network by entering their username in this format: [email protected]. The username and password are the same ones that you use to log in to any campus-managed computer or your MyLEO account. Android devices require you to install a certificate on your device to encrypt, while the iOS devices will download the certificate but simply ask you to confirm the authenticity. You can download the certificate. If you experience difficulties, please contact the CITE helpdesk and they will walk you through the process.

Contact the IT helpdesk at 903.468.6000 or by email at [email protected].
