Guest Wireless Network
Concordia provides a guest wireless network that is openly accessible to all wireless enabled devices that are not owned by Concordia. For security purposes this guest network does not provide access to printing and network resources. The Concordia University Help Desk cannot support computers that are non owned by Concordia so it is essential that you become familiar with how to configure wireless to access the guest network on your own.
| Status of computer | Wireless Profile Name (SSID) |

| Not Owned By Concordia | cspguest |

- Turn on your laptop
- Login to Windows (if required)
- Wait for a message to pop up stating: One or more wireless networks are in range of this computer.
- Click on the message itself to see a list of the wireless networks that you can use

Connected to cspguest, but not able to connect
Sometimes a Laptop Not Owned By Concordia says it is conencted, but will not be able to display web pages. If this occurs, one reason may be that it is going through a proxy server. In order to check this:
Go to Tools>Internet Options>Connections
Go into LAN settings
Check Automatically detect settings Uncheck Use proxy server...
You should be able to connect now.
CSP Apartments
This year the apartments are using ComCast for their wireless connections and cable. In each apartment there should be a packet of information on how to properly configure these.
If there is any trouble with these wireless or cable settings, please contact ComCast with any questions.
