Networking > Wireless

The wireless network is available to Columbia students, faculty, and staff and offers fast and reliable data connection speeds of up to 54Mbps. Wireless Internet access is available inside many buildings on the Morningside campus. CUIT also offers outdoor wireless access. Please check our coverage map to see exactly where wireless access is currently offered. Coverage will improve as the wireless network is expanded to accommodate the entire campus.

Please note that setting up a personal wireless router in Residence Halls is prohibited. If you are living in University Apartment Housing, please view our documentation on using wireless in your apartment.

The wireless network offers all the computing services that the wired network does. Once you are equipped with a special PC card for your portable computer the network will be completely accessible without the restraints of a network cable and jack. Wireless users can roam throughout the coverage zones and remain connected to the network.

Network computing is no longer restricted to the dorm room or office. Grab your laptop and head outside!
