Technology Services Wireless Access & Hot Spots

Wireless Access Zone
To facilitate your access to the AU wireless network, the Office of Information Technology maintains wireless coverage at the Garden City campus as well as the three Center locations. Your computer must be equipped with a Wi-Fi card. (Some units require a button or switch be turned on to use the wireless feature).

How To Get Connected
When configuring your wireless settings, the network name (SSID) will be AU. Access to our wireless network involves two security steps. After you enter the WEP key (see instructions in appropriate PDF download below) and try to connect to the wireless network, the server will prompt you for a valid Adelphi sign-in. This is where you enter your eCampus username and password.

Detailed guides for your operating system are available for download below: Copies of the instructions are also available at the IT HelpDesk, which is on the 2nd floor of Swirbul Library, near the Information Commons. You can also call the HelpDesk 516.877.3340.

Once this information is entered, you should automatically connect within a few minutes. For optimal speed, you should position yourself as close as possible to the hot spot.
