Wireless FAQ
Is the wireless network different than the wired network?
The wireless network is a separate network from the wired network, which is owned and operated by SJSU and supported by Network Services. In order to reach campus resources you have to connect through the Internet just like you would using your own ISP.
What is the 'Walled Garden' on the wireless network?
The websites for SJSU, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library, the City of San Jose, Associated Students and ITSS Help Desk are accessible without logging on to the wireless network. Anyone can reach these websites as long as your browser will connect to the wireless network. However, to reach any other website, you must have a valid SJSUOne ID, a King Library PIN or a guest account plus a password to login to the network.
What wireless NICs are supported on the wireless network?
All typical wireless cards which support 802.11 a/b/g and n will be supported on the network.
What is the new SSID for the wireless network?
The SSID is sjsu_premier.
How do I connect to the wireless network?
Open your laptop’s wireless configuration application and search for new networks. When the network sjsu_campus appears in the list, connect to it. Then start your browser and login at the appropriate place on the splash page.
How do I connect to a secure wireless network?
View Secure Wireless (Wi-Fi) Configuration Guides.
Where can I get a wireless connection?
Wireless has been installed in every campus building except the Market Café, the parking garages and dorm rooms in Campus Village. You can also connect to the network in the outdoor areas around the Student Union, Business Tower, University House, King library and along El Paseo De Cesar E. Chavez.
How do I set up my SMTP Mail client?
You must use your email provider's SMTP gateway.
How do I print from the wireless network?
Wireless printing is available, but will first need to be set up. You can request wireless printing set up by submitting an iSupport ticket or contacting us at 408-924-1530 or info-support@email.sjsu.edu.
Why don’t I get a splash page all of the time?
If your browser’s homepage is set to any of the websites in the Walled Garden, you will go directly to those websites and bypass the splash page. However, if you leave those websites to go to any other website, you will be directed to the splash page to login. If you login to the SJSU_Premier network, you will not be directed to the login page, but will authenticate automatically to the WPA2 network the next time you are on campus. You must have a valid SJSUOne ID or King Library PIN to login to the network.
How do I login?
Open your browser and you will automatically be directed to the login splash page to reach the login screen. It’s a good idea to bookmark the login page.
How do I logout when I have left the logout splash page?
Go to to the initial splash page to get the logout screen. Remember to bookmark the successful login page so you can bring up the page to logout.
Can I use the Wireless network off-campus or at home?
The wireless network is strictly for the main campus and south campus. There are no plans to offer university sponsored network access to any other locations.
What are guest accounts?
Guest accounts allow visiting faculty, staff, campus vendors and library vendors, who do not have an SJSUOne account, to login to the wireless network. Seminar guests and other special functions can obtain guest accounts through special arrangement. Guest accounts are temporary accounts and will have a defined expiration date.
How are guest accounts obtained?
Any university faculty member or staff can request a guest account for their guest lecturer, professor or vendor. Students cannot request guest accounts. Guest accounts must be requested at least 48 hours before the event.
Who do I call for technical support?
