• Campus: designed to connect laptops, desktops, and mobile devices (i.e. cell phone, tablet).

• shurhnet: designed to connect gaming and smart devices (i.e. Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation, handheld gaming devices, Smart TV, Amazon/Google Smart hubs, etc.)

• shurhgame: specialized network that is allocated on a case-by-case basis in event that “shurhnet” network does not work with a smart/gaming device.

• “shurhnet” and “shurhgame” are available in the following residence halls:

  • Aquinas Hall

  • Boland Hall

  • Cabrini Hall

  • Neumann Hall

3. Connect to “shurhnet” and, when prompted, enter the network key.

Connect to shurhgame

The primary wireless network in residence halls for smart/gaming devices is “shurhnet” network. However, if you have connected your device to the “shurhnet” wireless network and notice a feature of the device or game does not work, please submit a support ticket with a summary of your issue.

For example:

• ”I connected my Smart TV but I cannot connect to <insert streaming service>.”

• ”I connected my Sony PlayStation but when I play <insert game here>, I cannot communicate with my friends on my headset.”

• “The online leaderboard in <insert game here> does not load when connected to ‘shurhnet’ network.”

Approval to connect to the “shurhgame” network is required. If approved, you will be contacted by an IT staff member and provided with the necessary login credentials.
