Overview

MyResNet is the free high-speed Wi-Fi network in residence halls. It's capable of accommodating up to 10 devices per student, for streaming music and video, as well as online gaming.

Benefits

MyResNet includes Wi-Fi 6 (coming soon Wi-Fi 6E) technology and provides several benefits:

  • Faster Speeds: Enjoy faster speeds of 100 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload, per device.
  • More Devices: Connect up to 10 of your Wi-Fi devices to MyResNet at once.
  • Better support for smart devices: Your own Personal Area Network (PAN) will be available to connect smart home devices like speakers, wireless printers, and light bulbs.
  • Simplified Setup: You’ll connect devices to MyResNet quickly and easily with a unique password.

How to Connect

View detailed ResNet directions with screenshots or read details below:

Details

It is recommended to create your MyResNet account before arriving to campus, so that you’re ready to connect once you arrive.

  1. Visit the ResNet portal: www.rider.hed.boldyn.com
  2. Click Sign In on the Boldyn Portal
  3. Log in via Rider University single sign-on page
  4. Complete your MyResNet portal registration
  5. A pop-up window displays your default password for ResNet. Click Copy if you want to copy your default password to your clipboard, then click Close.
    Note: You will receive an email from support.hed@boldyn.com confirming that your account has been created.
  6. After your account is created, you'll return to the main screen. In the Wi-Fi Password window, change your default password to something unique and click Save. You will use this password to connect all of your devices to MyResNet.

Important: Choose a password that is different from your Rider University Account password. You will receive an email from support.hed@boldyn.com confirming your new Wi-Fi password.

  1. Open the wireless settings on the device you want to connect.
  2. Connect to MyResNet-5G from your list of available Wi-Fi networks.
  3. Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted to connect.
  4. Enable the “auto-join” feature (iOS) or “auto-connect” feature (Android) on your device to ensure that it connects automatically to the network in the future. 

The next time your device is within range of MyResNet-5G, it should connect automatically.

Helpful Tips

  • MyResNet-5G is the default network used for most devices. It provides fast speeds and the simplest connection process.  
  • If you connected to the network named “MyResNet Start Here” to set up your device on campus, be sure to forget this network from your device after you have created your account. This network has slower speeds and exists only to help create your MyResNet account.

Guest Access

Guests can obtain access to MyResNet by visiting Boldyn ResNet Portal, clicking Guests and Visitors (not Sign In), and following the instructions.

Support

Take Advantage of Outstanding Support powered by Boldyn Networks.

If you need any help registering or connecting your devices, a support representative is available 24 hours a day to assist you.

  • Call support: (833) 493-4896
  • Chat online at: Boldyn Support
  • Support Email: support.hed@boldyn.com 

Coming Soon – MyResNet -6G

We recommend you connect to MyResNet-5G (see steps above). MyResNet-6G provides faster performance and lower latency for newer devices that are capable of connecting to it. However, it requires extra steps the first time that you connect.

Important: You must follow the steps below to turn off Private Addresses and register your device at www.rider.hed.boldyn.com when connecting to MyResNet-6G. Otherwise, MyResNet-6G will not recognize your device the next time that you try to connect.

  1. Open the wireless settings on the device you want to connect.
  2. Open the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
  3. Turn off Private Addresses on your device. For example, on an iPhone, tap the blue information circle next to MyResNet-6G and tap Private Address to the off position.
  4. Visit www.rider.hed.boldyn.com and click Sign In with your Rider University username and password.
  5. On the main window, select your device type, name it, and then enter its MAC address. Click MAC Address Help for guidance on locating the MAC address. When you are finished, click Add Device.
  6. Enable the “auto-join” feature (iOS) or “auto-connect” feature (Android) on your device to ensure that it connects automatically to the network in the future.

The next time your device is within range of MyResNet-6G, it should connect automatically.
