Guest Wireless Setup

- Open an Internet browser (IE, Chrome, FireFox, Safari, etc).
- The browser should redirect you to a Guest Registration page:
- On this page you need to confirm that you have read the Acceptable Use Policy, fill in some contact information, and choose between three methods of registration:
- Text message
- Calvin sponsor
- Follow the instructions on the page depending on which registration method you have chosen.
Note: Guest wireless registration is good for 24 hours at a time. If you are on campus for an extended period, you may need to re-register each day.

Troubleshooting
- Verify that your computer or device is currently connected to the "Guest" network. Disconnect if from any other network such as CalvinStudents, CalvinWireless, or wireless_setup_instructions).
- Your wireless adapter must be set to automatically obtain an IP address and DNS address. If you have manually entered an IP address and/or DNS address you will need to change this setting.
- If you are connected to Guest but the registration web page is not loading, try a different web browser or clear your browser's cache and cookies.
- If you are connected to Guest but aren't able to use applications that require a wireless connection, open your web browser first and verify that you have registered for Guest access before attempting to use any other applications that require Internet access.
