New Wi-Fi Coming to East for Personal Devices

Students: soon your personal devices will no longer be permitted to join WPSWIFI. This should ultimately resolve the issue where an old password on a device locks out your account when your password changes. To connect your personal device, you will instead use the WPS_Personal SSID or Wi-Fi network. See instructions >> You may connect as many as 5 personal devices to the network.

Note: to be able to access SSL (https://) websites using our Wi-Fi, you must install the trust certificates available here >>
