ITSInfo: Wireless Network Device Registration

By Contributing Writer on May 16, 2016

Description:
ITS recently upgraded network equipment that our community uses to connect wirelessly to the network. This upgrade will provide a significant leap forward in network management, security and capability.

If you are having difficulty accessing the wireless network, please perform the following:

  1. Connect to the “Colgate” SSID (network name) on your wireless device.
  2. Use the password “wireless” when prompted.
  3. Open a web browser if one does not automatically open.
  4. Enter your Colgate username and password (the same credentials you use to access the portal).
  5. A registration confirmation message will appear. Wait approximately 25 seconds.
  6. Your device is now registered on the Colgate wireless network.

Impact:
Newly installed wireless network software may require some users to register their device(s).

Affected Users:
Wireless network users (laptop, tablet, smartphone).

If you continue to experience difficulties, please phone the ITS Service Desk at 315-228-7111 or send an email to itshelp@colgate.edu.
