Wi-Fi and Internet
OSU Housing and Residential Life is partnered with Apogee to deliver home experience Wi-Fi in all residence halls and apartments. You can now connect to virtually any Wi-Fi device that you can connect to at home.
How To Connect - Basics
1) Log into the OKState Apogee Wi-Fi portal from a computer or smartphone that has internet, create your account and get your Wi-Fi PSK Key. You can even do this before you get to campus.
2) Once in a residence hall or apartment, select the MyResNet-5G or MyResNet-2G Wi-Fi network on each of your devices and enter your PSK Key.
If you don't have a computer or smartphone with internet
Select the MyResNet Start Here Wi-Fi Network from a smartphone or computer.
This is a captive portal that will take you directly to the OkState Apogee Wi-Fi page
to sign up and get your PSK Key. Once you have your key, forget this "Start Here"
network.
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.
