Connecting to MH-Secure Wireless

Mitchell Hamline Information Technology strongly recommends that our community users (students, faculty, and staff) connect to the MH-Secure wireless network using the following instructions for increased security and fewer prompts to log in.  In fact, you will only need to complete this process once for each device that you access MH-Secure with.  After that, your device will connect automatically and will only require you to update your password when your password changes.
If you are unable to join the secured network, choose the open MH-Guest network instead for Internet access.  Please contact Mitchell Hamline IT for assistance in getting connected to the secured wireless at your convenience.
