MAES Staff Wi-Fi

Any work devices can be connected to the Staff Wi-Fi. Chromebooks will already be connected.

To connect, go to the Wi-Fi or Network menu on your work phone or laptop and add or search for: maes_staff. 

If this is the first time you are connecting your work device to the MAES staff Wi-Fi, you will need to contact maes.helpdesk@manadulted.ac.uk to get it connected to the network. For security reasons, we DO NOT give out the password to our MAES Staff Wi-Fi.

MAES Public Wi-Fi

To connect any personal devices to the wi-fi in our centres:

1  Go to the wi-fi or Network menu on your phone and add or search for maes_pulic. 

2  Connect to maes_public

3  You will be invited to agree to the terms and conditions

Once you have done this you will be connected to this
free wifi every time you visit a MAES centre (but you
will periodically need to agree to the Ts&Cs).

Students and guests are also able to connect freely to this network.
