How can I connect to AirPennNet?

Introduction

All SEAS buildings support the campus wide network AirPennNet and AirPennNet-Guest. AirPennNet is a secure method for connecting to wireless here at SEAS and throughout all buildings across campus. The new network supports encryption and uses 802.1X technology to connect to the network, forgoing the need to visit a website to register. AirPennNet-Guest is an unencrypted network with a web-based authentication. This network is intended for visitors and for devices not capable of supporting 802.1X.
