Connect to the Internet

At SUNY Oneonta, you will see 3 supported Wi-Fi networks or SSIDs when you connect your device. All three are available to SUNY Oneonta students and employees but they are designed for different uses. Please visit our Selecting a Wi-Fi Network page for more information.

You will need these to register. If you need to activate your account or reset your password, then visit our User Account Maintenance page.

Viruses can harm devices and damage the network. We recommend that you install an up-to-date antivirus program, enable on-access scanning and run full system scans periodically while using the campus network. Choose your own antivirus or download one of these for free:

• Windows users can use Microsoft Windows Defender, which is included in Windows 10.
• Mac OS users can download and install Avast Mac Security.
