Connecting to Mines-Personal PPSK Network in Residence Halls

With the campus Network Modernization project, we're happy to introduce Mines-Personal private networks (private pre-shared key--PPSK) for residents living on campus.

Overview

With the campus Network Modernization project, we're happy to introduce Mines-Personal private pre-shared key (PPSK) networks for residents living in the various campus residence halls and Mines Park. With your own personal access code issued to you during move-in, you can safely join your various technology gear to a private wireless network.
 

The Mines-Personal is for gaming and streaming devices in Residence Halls

The Mines-Personal network is intended for use in residence halls for gaming and streaming devices that require a key-based login and don't have a web-browser to connect to a wi-fi network such as Mines-Guest. 

Example devices:

• Xbox
• Smart TV
• Amazon Alexa

How do I connect my academic computer or cell phone for everyday internet use?

For regular internet access on your phone or personal computer in your dorm or on campus, please connect to the Mines  wireless network. 

• Mines WiFi network – Use in all residence halls and in campus buildings that have been upgraded. Connect your devices to the Mines network (not sure if your academic building has been upgraded? Check out the Network Modernization Project schedule).
  • Mines-Legacy – Use in campus buildings that haven’t been upgraded yet. Connect your devices to the Mines-Legacy network.

Receiving your PPSK key for the Mines-Personal network for streaming devices:

 

During move-in, keep an eye out for the mail from "Extreme Networks <no-reply@extremecloudiq.com>" titled "Login Credentials". That email has your access key to your Mines-Personal network space:

With your access key, you can join your devices to Mines-Personal -- it will prompt you for just the access key (or "password"), you will *NOT* need to enter your campus email address as it will not prompt you for a username.
