Is Your WiFi On?
Many devices have a physical switch or button that turns the WiFi on and off. Double check that it is turned on so it can receive network signals.
When to Turn WiFi Off?
If you want to plug in your device with an Ethernet cable, we strongly advise you to turn the WiFi off to prevent potential connectivity issues. Use your Ethernet cable for gaming if possible.
Where Are You At?

Did You Change Your UMICH Password Recently?
Check if you can log in to Wolverine Access first. If you can log in to Wolverine Access, but cannot log in to MWireless, you may need to change your UMICH password. If you need assistance with this, contact the ITS Service Center. Please note: If your password changes, you need to re-run the installer.
