Computers and other wireless devices should connect to ColbyWireless (in the residence hall rooms Ethernet ports are also available). You may connect even if you see a warning message about an unsecured network.
Students living on campus should bring an Ethernet patch cable as part of the computer kit. Wireless coverage can vary by location, as with cell phone coverage. These cables are sold at the campus bookstore. The Ethernet connection is faster and more consistent than the wireless, so having a cable is a good backup plan.
All student personal computers are required to have anti-virus software that is active and up-to-date. Please contact the Helpdesk if you are not sure your computer has this.
It is not permitted to connect any additional routers or other networking devices to data ports in residence halls.
We can provide only limited support of web-connected gaming stations.
Please call the Helpdesk at extension 3800 with any questions.
