Additional Information

• Ethernet 

  Not every room will have an available ethernet port.  Do not unplug a Wi-Fi Access point in order to plug in your device.  These ports are configured specifically for the Access Points and will not function with personal devices.

   

  As long as there is an open orange ethernet jack, residents may use a Cat5e or Cat6 ethernet cable to plug in a wired device.

  • If your wired device has a web browser, you will be taken to the Wi-Fi captive portal to log in, which will automatically register your device.
  • If your device does not have a web browser or if auto-registration fails, you will need to pre-register the device.
    • • Log into https://okstate.hed.boldyn.com
      • Click add device
      • Type in the requested information including the device's MAC address.
      • Once it is registered to your account, you can plug it into ethernet.
• VPN

  Certain internal campus resources might require OSU's VPN in order to access them while connected to MyResNet: https://it.okstate.edu/services/osuvpn

• Duo MFA

  Most campus systems that require you to log in with your O-Key credentials require duo multi-factor authentication (MFA): https://it.okstate.edu/services/multi-factor-authentication
