Wireless campus network and library databases

Airnet,the campus wireless service, has 2 connection modes - one lets you into the library databases and the other does not...

1) Limited Network Access (aka Captive Portal) is highly restrictive access to wireless connections on campus. At the moment, Limited Network Access does not allow you to connect directly to the library databases.

2) Normal Network Access (aka Airnet Client) is the preferred access method for SBU-affiliated people. This is an actual piece of client software that you need to download and use for wireless access on campus. The Airnet Client allows access to the library databases.

The Airnet client software can be found here:

Contact Client Support if you have questions about network access on campus.
