Visitors to Winona State University are welcome to enjoy our campus wireless network using the WSU Guest wireless network. Visitors can connect one device (e.g. phone, laptop, tablet) for 24 hours, after which they will need to renew their guest account.
Connecting to WSU Guest wireless is not recommended for current WSU students or employees, who can connect to the Warrior and WSU networks using their StarID credentials.
