 PCFree: Wireless at Palomar

We currently offer public, wireless access points on all three floors of the San Marcos campus library building, on both levels of the student union (SU), throughout the Student Services complex (SSC), in the Natural Sciences building, and in portions of the C, A and AA buildings (see the campus map). Questions about other locations should be directed to the IS help desk, extension 2140.

Our "How it works" page describes the basics of setting up your equipment to work with our access points.  Configuration is simple, and straightforward.  Since access is provided without requiring a login or using security settings, once your equipment is configured correctly according to our instructions, it should work just fine.

You can come in person to room LL-103 on the ground floor of the San Marcos campus library for assistance, but there are very few settings to check and a failure to connect is far more likely to be caused by a weak or non-existent wireless signal from where the student is located, or the wireless network being down or malfunctioning.

The "How it works" page should tell you all you need to know about getting network adapter to work with our access points.

While set up and use of the wireless system is simple, it may be that your own hardware, or custom settings you have made on your computer, will prevent it from working with our access points.  If this is the case, we will do our best to help you resolve the problem, but cannot guarantee that all problems can be resolved.  If your equipment just won't work with our access points, there are always "wired" computers available to you in our many computer labs.

For those of you who want to know more about wireless networking, including technical details, consult our FAQ page.
