Connecting Your Personal Laptop (or Other Devices) to the District Wi-Fi
In an effort to secure our network from any potential security threats and computer viruses the District Computer Services Department has set up a special Wi-Fi network specifically for personal laptops and cell phones. Here are the basics for connecting to our "District-Guest" Wi-Fi network.
- On your laptop Wi-Fi settings select the "District-Guest" Wi-Fi network, check the box marked "Connect automatically" and then click the "Connect" button
- After a few moments, your web browser should automatically launch to a webpage to register your device. The page will look like this:
Here you will enter your username and password that you use to login to the school computers or your school email.
NOTE: If this page does not immediately open you can open your web browser yourself and try to go to any website and it should automatically take you to this page.
NOTE-2: Should you see the screen below it is because you previously registered your device using the "Register as a Guest" instead of your normal login and password. Just click on "Cancel" and you should be taken to the screen shown above to put in your user name and password.
- When you click "Login" your screen will immediately change to like the one here:
- After a moment the screen will then change to one like this:
- From this point forward your laptop will automatically connect to the District-Guest Wi-Fi for 180 days and you will not have to re-register each time you connect.
This process is very similar for registering your mobile phone to the District-Guest Wi-Fi so, you should be able to follow these same steps on your cell phone.
