Got wireless?

If you have a personal router and are connecting it to our network, wait! Please visit the appropriate section for a "how-to" first! Incorrectly configured or connected routers are one of the top reasons your connection gets suspended.

Going somewhere?

When going on break, please take a minute to look over the "best practices" of what to do when leaving on break .

Need help?

It's always a good idea to have this checklist handy. Over 90% of the calls we get from folks who can't access the internet are "self solved" here.

Part Three (optional)

1. After you’ve confirmed you can connect to the wireless router via the wireless connection, you have the option to not "show" this information to anyone else with a wireless card in their PC.

2. Navigate to the Wireless area.

3. Select the Disable SSID Broadcast button shown below:



4. Click Save Settings.

Now plug in your router to its Internet connection (the WAN or INTERNET connection on the router) to our Ethernet outlet on your wall. Turn the power off on your router and wait thirty (30) seconds and power it back on.  Give it at least 1-2 minutes before trying to connect to the Internet.

That's it!  Hopefully this helps you in your quest to secure your router.
