Using Your Device on the HISD Network (Staff Only)

If you're an HISD faculty of staff member you can login to the hisd-wnet wireless network using the same credentials you use to login to your HISD desktop computer (not your HISD email). Most devices will detect and setup the network automatically but if you're having problems, you may need to tweak your connection settings a bit. Make sure your authentication type is set to "PEAP" (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) and if your settings require a secondary or inner authentication, select "MS-CHAPv2". For "CA" or "Certificate" settings, select "not required" or "none". If your configuration requires a domain field (usually with newer Android phones), just use "HISD".

If you're experiencing problems when connecting to the hisd-wnet network, it might be the age of your device and/or your operating system version. For older devices (especially iPhones and older Windows laptops), try using our legacy wireless network at hisd-wnet-nps using the same instructions shown above.
