Residence Hall Computer Connections
Register your computer and connected devices to use the wired network in the residence halls.
Device Requirements
- PC: Windows 7 or higher operating system with network connectivity.
- Mac: OS X or higher operating system with network connectivity.
To connect to Adelphi’s network if you live in the residence halls, you will need the following:
- Network CAT 5 minimum cable to connect your computer to the network wall jack in your room. Lengths vary so don’t buy one that’s too short for your dorm room layout (around 12 feet should be sufficient in most cases).
- Configure the computer for DHCP service. This will allow you to connect to our network.
- If you want to use the wireless coverage Adelphi provides, you need a wireless access card that supports 802.11 a/b/g/n.
