    Important Note

    If you are using a computer without built-in Wireless, a USB Wireless adaptor is required. We recommend:

    You can purchase these from many major resellers like Staples or Best Buy.

    Note: The above wireless adaptors are recommended for PC's only. Most consumer Mac computers including, iMacs, MacBooks, MacBook Pros, and Mac Mini's have built in Wireless cards.

    For questions or support, contact the AcademicComputing office on your campus

    Wireless Connection Standard

    In order to equally support access for all users of the new YU Wireless systems ITS will be instituting a wireless connection standard. The standard number of connections to the YU Wireless per user is one (1). This means that a user can connect to YUWireless with one device at a time.  A user may connect either their computer, (laptop/desktop) or another device but not both at the same time. Other devices include cell phones, PDA, and gaming systems.
