Connecting to wireless networks makes accessing the internet convenient and efficient.

GS Premium

GS Premium is Georgia Southern’s premiere wifi network, and the most secure and seamless way to connect to the campus network for students, faculty, and staff. GS Premium uses a digital certificate to automatically authenticate. This not only reduces the risk of phishing and password theft, but also ensures a faster, more reliable connection experience—especially for frequently used devices.

Locating Your MAC Address

Just as every human has a unique fingerprint pattern, every computing device has its own MAC address that allows it to communicate across a network. The GSDevice network is a specifically designated network that allows SMART devices and gaming consoles to connect to the internet after registration of the devices’ MAC address has been completed.
