Overview
Your device may support connecting to both of the MyResNet networks in residence halls: “MyResNet” and “MyResNet Legacy”. For the best experience and fastest speeds, connect to the network named “MyResNet” whenever possible.
“MyResNet” uses a modern Wi-Fi standard that delivers download speeds of 80 Mbps per device. “MyResNet Legacy” uses a 20-year-old Wi-Fi standard designed to support older devices that are not capable of connecting to “MyResNet.” These older devices have technical limitations on the speeds they can achieve. If your device has the ability to use the faster “MyResNet” network, we recommend you connect to it. Devices should only be connected to “MyResNet Legacy” when there is no option to connect them to “MyResNet”.
If you have ever connected to “MyResNet Legacy” and your device is capable of connecting to “MyResNet,” we also recommend you forget "MyResNet Legacy" on your device by following the steps below, contacting the Technology Help Desk at 412-624-HELP (4357), or stopping by one of our Drop-In Support Desk locations.
