Duquesne
University continues to implement
wireless services across several areas
of the University campus to promote the
ease of mobile computing. This service
allows all of the University community
to gain entry to the campus-wide network
from wireless-enabled computers where coverage
is available.

The
DuqNet wireless network implements
WPA2-Enterprise security and therefore
some computers will not be able
to connect to DuqNet without a
hardware or software upgrade. If
your laptop is less that two years
old, you should be able to configure
it for DuqNet. Sometimes it is
only necessary to download and
install the newest driver for your
wireless network card. Some older
wireless network cards do not support
WPA2 security and you will have
to purchase a new one.
Please contact the CTS
Help Desk if you have questions
with the wireless setup or
wireless connection (412.396.4357). Also
see the Frequently
Asked Questions
section to this page.
