Warnings

In order to register your devices on the MiNET network, you will need to add your MAC addresses to your account. If you do not know how to do this, you can follow this tutorial which will show you how to proceed. If you do not know your MAC addresses, this tutorial should give them to you.

If you have a problem with your current connection, redo this tutorial (and don’t forget to download the newest version of the script, that could have changed), and if it still doesn’t work don’t hesitate to send us a ticket.

Setting Up Your PC with Windows (WiFi)

By following this tutorial, you will see how to configure your computer running Windows 10/11 in order to connect to the MiNET WiFi network. If you are using a previous version of Windows, or if this tutorial fails for you, try this tutorial instead.

  • Download this script.

  • Open Powershell as administrator (eg you can type “Powershell” in your search bar, and then run it as administrator)

Powershell and the Command Line are similar yet distinct programs !

  • Run the following command, which allows script execution (then answer “Yes” to any following prompt).

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted


If you have an error here, it probably means that you didn’t run Powershell as administrator !

  • Using the cd command, move to the folder where the script has been downloaded. For example :

cd C:\Users\monnomdutilisateur\Downloads

  • Add your WiFi mac address on adh6. If you do not know it, then the following step will give it to you.

  • Run the script with the following command, and don’t forget to read what the script tells you !

./autoConnectWindowsMiNET.ps1


This is not the last step !

  • Answer the script’s questions. You must pay attention to what the script tells you !

  • If you haven’t done it yet, add your WiFi mac address on adh6. The script should have given you your computer’s MAC addresses. (You need to add the one that corresponds to your WiFi mac address as “Wireless” on adh6, and then click on “Add the device”). Don’t forget that your connection can only work if you have added your mac addresses on adh6.

  • Connect to the MiNET WiFi (or possibly MiNET_2.4), and then enter your adh6 username and password in the box opened for you by Microsoft Windows (it might appear as a notification).

  • (Optional) Disable script execution :

Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted
