On June 29, 2022, Network Services will be upgrading the system that handles authentications for the campus wireless system. There are a few notices and changes to be aware of with this upgrade.
Reconnecting to ‘OleMiss’ After the Upgrade
- Most users should not notice any difference post-upgrade. However, it may be necessary to accept a new certificate (specifically on Mac and iOS devices) from the system. This is perfectly normal and secure.
Changes to myDevices Portal and ‘OleMissDevices’ Wi-Fi Network
- During the upgrade, the database that houses devices registered in the myDevices portal will be purged. As a result, you will need to re-register any devices you wish to connect to the OleMissDevices network. Visit the Speciality Devices page for more information on what types of devices are supported on the ‘OleMissDevices’ network.
- There will be a 5-device limit to the number of devices that can be registered in the portal. If you require additional devices, please email network@olemiss.edu.
- Going forward, devices registered in the myDevices portal will be deleted after 4 years. This will help keep the database clean and maintain performance of the system. If you are needing to register a University-owned departmental device, such as a SmartTV, you may fill out this form and Network Services will register the device for you. This will allow the device to be permanently registered in the system and not subject to the 4-year cleanup policy.
If you need help registering your devices or you have any other questions or issues, please contact the IT Helpdesk by calling 662-915-5222 or emailing helpdesk@olemiss.edu
