• Connecting with a Windows Laptop

Common connectivty issue:

• Duke NetID password is not synched with Fuqua NetID. Failing to authenticate to the Fuqua wifi is often an indication that you have not synched your Duke NetID and Fuqua NetID accounts.

• Select the wireless network called "visitor"

There is a firewall enabled on this network that blocks some types of traffic (SMTP, SSH, RDP, etc). Please try to use everything through a web browser. If a particular application won't work, contact us for troubleshooting and a solution.

WiFi Adapters

Most laptops and many mobile devices have 802.11a/b/g/n ("WiFi") equipment built in. If you're not sure whether or not yours has such a device, refer to your equipment manufacturer.

If you don't have the equipment, you'll need to purchase a wireless adapter. These cards can be purchased from the Duke Computer Store or a local retailer for less than $50. The minimum recommended specifications for a wireless adapter are:

• 802.11g
• Support for 802.1x and WPA

However, we recommend purchasing a card with the following specifications for optimal performance on Duke's wireless network.

• 802.11a/n
• Support for 802.1x, WPA, and WPA2
