The IUP wireless network is available across campus, including the Oak Grove.
Wireless routers are positioned in many locations to provide the best overall coverage.
Please note: if you are experiencing slowness in the residential halls, the issue could be related to wireless printers broadcasting in your area. If you have further questions on possible issues, please log a ticket via ihelp so the issues can be researched further.
The wireless network requires an 802.11a/g/n/ac compliant wireless network card that supports the WPA2 security policy with AES encryption.
