To log in to the SUNY Adirondack wifi:

Choose "SUNY-ADK" as the available wireless network on your wifi list.

You may be asked to accept the server's certificate. Select "Trust" (or "Continue" on some devices) when prompted. Or just continue if you are not asked to accept a certificate.

It may take a few minutes to connect when you log into SUNY-ADK for the first time. However, once you have established your connection, you should immediately reconnect when you are in range of our updated wireless network.
