The Â鶹ÊÓƵ wireless network is available on our main campus, as well as the Punxsutawney, Northpointe, and Pittsburgh East campuses.
Wireless routers are positioned in many locations to provide the best overall coverage. To connect to the Â鶹ÊÓƵ wireless, you will use your Â鶹ÊÓƵ credentials on your device or computer. The device or computer must have 802.11a/g/n/ac compliant wireless network card that supports the WPA2 security policy with AES encryption.
Please note: if you are experiencing slowness in the residential halls, the issue could be related to wireless printers broadcasting in your area. If you have further questions on possible issues, please log a ticket via so the issues can be researched further.
Issue with connecting? Please review the following tips. If you are still unable to connect your device to the Â鶹ÊÓƵ wireless network, please visit our office in Delaney Hall for assistance.
Tip # 1 - Expired password
If your wireless connection shows that your password is expired, you will need to complete a password reset via the Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR).
Tip #2 - Removal of old Â鶹ÊÓƵ Wireless network profile
If you are unable to access the Â鶹ÊÓƵ wireless network from an Apple iOS device with your username and correct password, you may need to remove an old “Â鶹ÊÓƵ Wireless Network” network profile that is no longer supported. To check for profiles you may have installed on your iPhone, go to
Settings > General > VPN & Device Management
on your iOS device.
If you have a profile called “Â鶹ÊÓƵ Wireless Network,” please delete it. You will then be able to connect to the Â鶹ÊÓƵ wireless network using your username and password.
