Wireless Internet Setup

Connecting to the wireless Internet at SDSU is extremely easy. Any laptop from 2003 or later should have a wireless adapter installed and ready to use. Below are step by step guides for the major operating systems to connect you to our wireless. Don't be worried if it doesn't look like this exactly; some manufacturers of laptops have their own wireless tools that will work just as well for connecting you.
