Using WiFi at Hampden-Sydney College
Getting connected on-campus
Below are links for instructions to get your devices connected to the Hampden-Sydney College campus Wi-Fi.
We are in the process of phasing-out our older Wi-Fi solution, so there are currently two different Wi-Fi platforms running on campus. This means that may will be different instructions depending on which building you are at when trying to connect to the campus Wi-Fi. Please read through both sets of instructions.
Instructions for new Wi-Fi buildings (most locations)
** These locations use the SSIDs TigerNet & TigerNet-Guest
Instructions for legacy Wi-Fi buildings
** These locations use the SSIDs HSCWiFi2 & HSCWiFi5
There may be additional SSIDs depending on your location
- All Fraternity Housing
- Cushing Residence Hall (Summer 2024)
- Gilmer Hall (offline)
- Kirk Athletic Center
* If you are having issues connective a device to these networks, please try registering your wireless device here. This fixes most issues with connectivity, though it may take 2 business days to take effect.
