What is MFlint?
MFlint is a secure wireless network option available on the University of Michigan - Flint campus. Active faculty, staff, students, and alumni with a U-M uniqname and current password can connect to the MFlint network by connecting to the MSetup network first to configure their device. You cannot connect to MFlint directly before configuring your device.
