WiFi

The wireless Internet network on campus is known as AirPennNet. AirPennNet provides fast, secure Internet access to all faculty, staff, alumni and students with their PennKey credentials. To prepare your laptop for Penn Carey Law, you will need to configure AirPennNet on your laptop. Currently, only laptops, iOS, and Android devices support AirPennNet’s security protocols.

Note: AirPennNet requires a PennKey to connect. If have not setup your PennKey yet or cannot remember your password, please contact itshelp@law.upenn.edu. If you are an alum, you can reach out to daralumnipennkey@dev.upenn.edu or use AirPennNet-Guest

Setting up AirPennNet on Campus

  1. Follow these laptop instructions to connect your Windows or Mac laptop to AirPennNet.
  2. Follow these mobile device instructions to connect your mobile devices to AirPennNet.

Setting up AirPennNet Before You Arrive

You can also set up AirPennNet before you arrive on campus. After updating your antivirus and system software, visit the Connect to AirPennNet page and follow the on-screen instructions. The network will be out of range outside of campus, but you will be able to connect to AirPennNet successfully after you arrive if you’ve done the setup already.

eduroam

eduroam is a secured wireless network that allows students, faculty and staff to use their home institution’s credentials (for Penn affiliates, their PennKey) to access wireless network services, when visiting other eduroam participating institutions without having to set up a guest account. It can also be used instead of AirPennNet while on campus.

Please see the eduroam setup page for more information and links to configuring your device to use eduroam
