Summary
This article will provide information about USNH Network Registration.
Content
USNH implements network registration via a captive portal environment. When a new device connects to a USNH network it does so in a limited access state. That means there are very few things it can do, and some of those things are re-routed to the network registration systems. How that appears on a particular device will vary by its operating system, but in all cases, a network browser will need to be opened to reach the registration interface. Some operating systems will do so automatically.
- All users of the USNH network tacitly or explicitly agree to the USNH Acceptable Use Policy.
- Registration pages appear somewhat different on wireless connections and wired connections.
- Devices connected to the wireless network (KSC-Open, PSU-Open, or UNH-Open) will see the following page (UNH Example):

- Guest registration is available via social authentication (e.g. Google, LinkedIn) or by submitting your name and personal email address. Both wireless and wired registration pages have links to register as a guest similar to this page (PSU Example):

- Registration durations will vary by circumstance, but will generally be no less than a year for USNH community members, and 30 days for guests.
- Information about your USNH Registered Devices, including registration of non-browsing devices, can be found at https://networking.usnh.edu/nac (USNH login required).
