Issue/Question
- How do I connect to the Wi-Fi as a Massasoit student or employee?
Resolution
To connect to the Massasoit Secure wireless network, you must be an actively registered student or an employee at the college. The login information used for the Wi-Fi is the same as what you use to log into the MyMassasoit Portal, just with your username rather than your full email address.
Operating System
Click on the Operating System you're connecting on to skip to the instructions for it:
Windows
Mac
Android/Chrome OS
iOS
Windows
- Click on the Wi-Fi/Network icon in the bottom right of the screen.
- Click on the arrow to the right of the Wi-Fi icon to open the list of Wi-Fi networks.
- Click on Massasoit Secure to select it, then click "Connect."
- Enter your Massasoit username and password when prompted.
- Your Massasoit username is your email address without the @massasoit.edu.
- You may be prompted to accept or reject the certificate for the network. Choose "Connect."
