IT service changes and reminders
Wireless service
- Use eduroam. No longer use “RedRover”.

The eduroam service also works for many academic visitors here, and for you when you travel.
A new Cornell wireless “Guest” service has recently been added, and this single-day access service is easy to get on to.
- Service is useful if you host visitors and friends for temporary periods who cannot use eduroam.
