| OverviewCarleton's wireless network provides network coverage across all academic, administrative, and residential buildings. It even extents to some of the outside common spaces, such as the parts of the Bald Spot and the outdoor classrooms of Anderson Hall and the CMC. The network is updated regularly, and we are continuously reviewing and upgrading coverage throughout all of our buildings. With nearly 1,000 wireless access points distributed across campus, there should be little problem accessing the network via your wireless device. We operate two distinct wireless networks. Our eduroam network is the primary network for Carleton students, faculty, and staff. It is secure and encrypted, and provides access to the internet as well as all internal network resources to anyone with Carleton credentials. The Carleton Guest network is available to anyone visiting our campus. It is an open network providing access to the internet, but not to secure, internal network resources. You can find more information on additional network resources on our Network Support page. | Include Page |

If you are a visitor to campus and wish to make use of our wireless network, please connect your device to our Carleton Guest network. This network is open and is not encrypted; transmissions across the network are not secure. It provides access to the Internet and some Carleton computing resources. You will be asked to provide an email address, but this is only used to manage network load* and will not be used for any form of communication.

*A large wireless network such as Carleton's is "broken down" into smaller units which is easier to manage and, in particular, helps to avoid network congestion. The email address that you provide is fed into an algorithm which then assigns your device(s) to a particular unit.
