How do I access ResNet?
Returning users: If you have used ResNet previously, you do not need to re-register.
New users: You’ll need to create a ResNet account through the CofC Apogee portal with your College of Charleston credentials before you can use the secure network.
From a PC, Mac or mobile device: Go to cofc.apogee.us to reach the portal. Enter your College of Charleston credentials to log in.
If your device does not have any connectivity: Go to your wireless settings and connect to "MyResNet Start Here." This will take you to the CofC Apogee portal where you can sign in with your College of Charleston credentials.
- Click "Sign in" using your College of Charleston credentials and create your account.
- From the popup alert, copy your personalized Wi-Fi passkey.
- Choose "MyResNet-5G" from your list of available Wi-Fi networks and enter or paste your passkey.
- Note: You can log back into the Apogee portal and change your password at any time. Click on "show Wi-Fi password" under Add Device tab.
Connect to the network
- Navigate to the wireless settings on each device.
- Connect to "MyResNet-5G" (you can connect to MyResNet-2G if your device is not 5G-compatible).
- Enter your Wi-Fi passkey when prompted to connect.
- Enable the auto-join feature.
- If you connected originally via the "MyResNet Start Here" network, go to your Wi-Fi settings and choose to forget that network.
Helpful Tips
- MyResNet-5G: Connect to MyResNet-5G for the fastest Wi-Fi connection. This should be your default setting.
- Laptop Drivers: Outdated drivers, specifically many Intel drivers, could impact your connection or speed. Update your drive to ensure optimal performance.
- Wired: Wired connections are not available in all locations on campus. If you choose to use wired, you must register your device with the Ethernet MAC address.
- Wireless printers: Wireless printers cause wireless interference. Apogee recommends wireless printers be added to your additional device list by MAC address in your Apogee portal or connected directly via USB printer cable. Once completed, be sure to turn off any wireless signal/radio broadcasting from your printer.

What's the difference between the "MyResNet-5G" and "MyResNet-2G"?
MyResNet-5G is a 5 GHz network that delivers download speeds of 150 Mbps per device. MyResNet-2G is a 2.4 GHz network designed to support older devices that are not capable of connecting to a 5 GHz network. These older devices have technical limitations on the speeds they can achieve. MyResNet-2G is optimized for such older devices, and it performs best when the only devices connected to the network are those older devices that have to use it.
Your device may support connecting to both of the ResNet networks. For the best experience and fastest speeds, connect to the network named MyResNet-5G whenever possible.
-
What if I can connect my device without registering it?
Unregistered devices will be unable to connect to the ResNet network at the peak speeds (150/100). If you want your device to perform at peak speeds, you need to register the device on your account first.
-
Will I be able to connect when visiting friends in other residence halls?
Yes. Once you create an account, you can connect your registered devices in all residence halls with ResNet.
-
As more people connect to ResNet, won’t it slow down Wi-Fi on my devices?
Your speeds should not decrease as more devices connect. The ResNet network design provides for dedicated speeds per student, per device regardless of the number of students or devices on the network.
