SHSU’s wireless network is a connectionless computing network that allows authorized users, when equipped with a compatible network device, to access University computing resources and the Internet without a physical connection to any campus wiring. For example a user with a laptop wireless connection may walk from the Newton Gresham Library to the LSC and never lose connection to the Internet.
SamNet Wireless now provides guest access to the Internet for campus visitors. Whether people are here for a professional conference, Orientation, or camps, they can bring their PDAs or laptops and login to the Internet free of charge without having to register for an account.

Reminder: If you are using wireless without the VPN login, your information is going out as clear text. Anyone that wanted to "eavesdrop" could. We strongly encourage our University users with authorized usernames to login instead of using guest access. This will allow your information to be encrypted.
