What do you need to get connected?
1) A Windows XP or Mac OS X based computer that has wireless capability and is WPA compatible.
2) A valid Carroll network account.
You do not need to come to CCIT to get setup. Try it yourself using the instructions below, it's easy! If you still have trouble after trying to do the setup, contact an RTA and they'll help you out.
How do you get connected?
First:
Make sure your wireless laptop can do WPA encryption (most will do WEP encryption, but we're using WPA - it's much better and will help keep your wireless connection private). If your wireless laptop can not do WPA, then check for updated drivers and software from the laptop manufacturer, or if you have a separate wireless card, check with that manufacturer - most will offer updates that will add WPA funcationality to your system.
Next:
Download the setup instructions and configure your laptop.
