Details
People accessing the wireless network at Dartmouth should choose from the following SSIDs:
Eduroam
(
edu
cation
roam
ing) is intended to be the primary wireless network used on campus by Dartmouth faculty, staff and students. It is also the secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. Eduroam allows students, researchers and staff from participating Institutions to obtain internet connectivity when visiting other participating institutions by simply opening their laptop and connecting to the Eduroam wireless network that is now available at many institutions. Connections made to this network will require authentication, and will encrypt data between the computer and the wireless access point. A Dartmouth NetID and password will be required to authenticate to this network, regardless of the institution you are at when you try to connect. Devices using this network will have a private IP address of 10.xxx.xxx.xxx while on campus, and will have a public Dartmouth IP address of 129.170.xxx.xxx when connecting to resources that are off campus. Any resources that require a Dartmouth IP address will allow connections from this network. See
Eduroam Wireless Network
for additional information.
Dartmouth Library Public
is intended to provide access to Dartmouth's Library resources for people who are on the Dartmouth campus, but who are not current Dartmouth faculty, staff, or students. It is only available in buildings that house one of Dartmouth's libraries. This is an unauthenticated, unencrypted wireless network. Devices using this network will have a private IP address of 10.xxx.xxx.xxx while on campus, and will have a public Dartmouth IP address of 129.170.xxx.xxx when connecting to resources that are off campus. Any resources that require a Dartmouth IP address will allow connections from this network.
Dartmouth Public
is intended to provide Internet access for people who are on the Dartmouth campus, but who are not current Dartmouth faculty, staff, or students. This includes alumni, conference participants, and guests. This is an unauthenticated, unencrypted wireless network. The connection to the Internet is provided by an outside Internet Service Provider (ISP). Devices using this network will have a non-Dartmouth IP address. This means that any resources that require a Dartmouth IP address – including Library resources – will not be accessible from this network, unless a
VPN session
is started first.
Kiewit Voice
is used only for wireless IP phones and is maintained specifically for that use.
