Connecting to Open Guest Wireless

Summary

This article provides instructions for connecting to the USNH Campus-Open Guest Wireless network with your laptop or mobile device.

Guests or any individual without USNH credentials will log into wireless on the Campus-Open network: KSC-Open, PSU-Open, or UNH-Open using their email address and phone number (optional).

Important: Guest registration requires a non-USNH email account (can't contain usnh.edu, keene.edu, plymouth.edu, unh.edu, or law.unh.edu). For instructions to connect with USNH credentials, see Further Readings at the end of this article.
