How do I connect my device to the wireless network?

Notes:

SUNY Erie's wireless network provides encrypted wireless access to the network. To use the wireless system, your device must be capable of using 802.11a/g/n the WPA2 protocol. Students will need to authenticate using their SUNY Erie username and password. The privilege of network access implies that you have read and understood the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). By signing into the SUNY Erie wireless network you are agreeing to the terms of the AUP. The AUP is located at  http://elinks.ecc.edu/aup

It is strongly recommended that the operating system of your personal computing device has all the current software updates as that antivirus software is installed, up to date and running.
