Guest Services
The MSU-Guest WiFi network provides a temporary Internet access available to external visitors campus-wide. Instructions on how to create a guest account are available on the “Guest Connect: Self Registration” page.
All MSU Faculty and Staff can also sponsor a guest account. There are two types of Sponsored Guest accounts:
- A single, individualized guest account can be created at: https://sponsor.netaccess.montclair.edu
- Or a shared account for attendees to on-campus hosted events, which can be created at: https://events.netaccess.montclair.edu
NOTE: The Guest Portal links work only when connected to the MSU network.

eduroam for Visitors
Visitors from eduroam-participating institutions can obtain access to Montclair State University’s eduroam WiFi network using the login credentials provided by their home institution. Visitors experiencing issues connecting to Montclair State University’s eduroam network are directed to contact their home institution to resolve any authentication issues encountered.
Is eduroam safe?
eduroam is based on the most secure encryption and authentication standards in existence today. Its security by far exceeds typical commercial hotspots.
Be aware though that when using the general Internet at an eduroam hotspot, the local site security measures at that hotspot will apply to you as well. For example, the firewall settings at the visited place may be different from those you are used to at home, and as a guest you may have access to fewer services on the Internet than you have at home.
eduroam will never show a webpage asking for your username and/or password. This is a sign that someone is attempting to hijack your password – do not use any network that requests this information.
eduroam uses 802.1x which provides end-to-end encryption to ensure that your private user credentials are only available to Montclair State University. The Montclair State University certificate is the only point you need to trust regardless of who operates the intermediate infrastructure.
