Aruba AP-505H wireless access point

Connecting with Ethernet in the Residence Halls

There is an ethernet port (wired) connection for every bed on campus. All you should need to do is plug in, and your computer gets all the information it needs from our network. Look for the wireless access point in your bedroom and you will find four ethernet ports on the bottom or the side. Only one WiFi box is available in any room with at least one bed. You may need to use a longer ethernet cord to accommodate your particular situation.

If you would like a longer complimentary ethernet cord, please contact us at the Service Desk

If you plug into the ethernet port and still can’t connect, please locate the following information:

  1. You have a Aruba wireless access device in your residence room, please provide the listed MAC address on the front or your building and room number and contact the Service Desk.

Connecting your Smart TV or Smart Speaker

Connect to the guest wireless network, PioNet-Guest, or an Ethernet port to connect to the Internet. Devices that have older wireless technology, such as 802.11b, will not work on the network.  If your device cannot connect via wireless, you will need to connect it using the wired Ethernet network.

If your “smart” device cannot connect to an open or WPA2-Enterprise SSID, then it is not supported on the network at this time. We hope to add this feature in the future.

Issues with Multiplayer Gaming in the Residence Halls

If you are having trouble connecting with multiplayer gaming (your device may inform you the NAT type isn’t compatible), you will need to connect your device to an ethernet port on the Aruba device located in your room.

Connecting with VPN

If you are off-campus and need access to on campus network resources, please use our VPN solution.  

If you are connected to our public wireless network, LC Wireless or PioNet-Guest, or PioNet-Resident you must use VPN for full network access to services like printing, file servers, etc.

HELP! I can’t connect!!!

If you cannot connect, have a bad connection, or are having issues with the wireless network please report the problem.  For assistance during business hours, we recommend you call or visit the appropriate Service Desk for your campus.
