The CUIT Helpdesk Technician will ask if your apartment is wired with an Ethernet jack (required for wireless connectivity). If there is no Ethernet jack in your apartment, the Helpdesk Technician will direct you to a web form to have an Ethernet jack installed in your apartment (for a fee). If there is an Ethernet jack (or after the jack is installed), the Helpdesk Technician will create a ticket. 2. Within 1-2 business days, a CUIT Consultant will contact you by email and phone to setup installation day/time (you must be home for installation), answer your questions, and ask you to confirm the request for the router and installation via another web form. 3. On installation day, you will turn on the computer, give your check (payable to Columbia University) or FAS number to the CUIT consultant, and show the consultant where the Ethernet jack is located. 4. The consultant will bring all equipment, cables and your choice of router. The Consultant will then setup and test the router and your home network to be sure all is working. 5. You will then use your new wireless connection to confirm that everything is working according to the confirmation form. 6. Should you require any further technical assistance, you can review the online directions or contact the CUIT Helpdesk by phone - 212-854-1919 or by email - askCUIT@columbia.edu. Additional Support Should you require more services in addition to the initial setup, such as adding extra computers to your wireless network or troubleshooting a non-hardware related problem, a CUIT consultant will come to your home for the standard rate of $60 per hour (minimum 30 minutes).
