    Students should not use these instructions; they should choose the TigerNetStudent network and connect using their TigerTracks login.

    Faculty and staff should follow the setup instructions below, and then use their FHSU network login to connect. If your network login does not allow access, you should submit a CTC Request for Services to the Network and Servers section to request wireless access.

These steps will work for many types of cards installed on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems, but they may not match your setup.
