How to Connect to HIU-Wireless Network

Network Information

The HIU wireless network is encrypted; therefore, you must enter a passphrase to connect to it. This helps protect your information and prevents unauthorized persons from accessing our network.

The SSID (Wireless network identifier) for the wireless network is HIU-WIRELESS

(You may also use HIU-WIRELESS -2 for 5GHz only mode)

The wireless passphrase is R@yalsWiFi - Note the SSID and passphrase are case-sensitive

Please do not give this passphrase to anyone who is not associated with HIU!

After connecting to the wireless network, you will be prompted to enter your HIU network username and password in order to access the Internet. This is the same username and password that you use to access all your HIU accounts.

If you do not know your HIU username and/or password, please contact the Information Technology Help Desk by calling (714) 879-3901 Ext-2607. It is not safe to give this sensitive information via email. If you have any other technology questions, you may also send an email to [email protected]. Our office hours are from 8am to 5pm, Mondays through Fridays, Pacific Time, except holidays.
