MIT Wi-Fi Onboarding

You may not know this, but MIT has two secure Wi-Fi networks, "MIT" and "MIT Secure".

  • The "MIT Secure" network uses your Kerberos username and password for authentication.
  • The "MIT" network is secure but uses a personalized pre-shared key (PSK) that does not expire for up to five years.

Over the last couple of months the MIT network has shown to be more resilient than MIT Secure; especially when there are a lot of Wi-Fi enabled devices on campus.
