Wireless computing on campus for faculty, staff and students

University faculty, staff and students should connect to the wireless network using PUwireless. Although wireless access is available throughout campus, hard-wired ethernet wall box connections should be used for intensive computing across the network.

• For more information and FAQs about wireless for students using on Dormnet, see: kb.princeton.edu/9744.
• Graduate students should refer to kb.princeton.edu/9755 for specific information on wireless availability, and if available, how to register for Mobile Dormnet.
• Faculty and staff should use the self-help configuration setting shown below (AFTER registering the device in the Host Database) or contact their departmental technical consultant for help.
• Departments wishing to have OIT Wireless Networking Service extended to their locations are encouraged to contact OIT Hardware Support (8-6199).

If you are faculty, staff or student and your computer is registered in the Host Database, you CANNOT use the PUvisitor wireless network. That network is for visitors.

If you accidentally select that network, your computer will appear to freeze (Windows) or you will receive an error message (Mac OS X). You will then need to wait at least two minutes before attempting to connect (or reconnect). The reason for this two minute interval is that the system remembers your original request for a certain period of time.

If your computer doesn't connect correctly after the two minute interval, try rebooting.
