titleConnect to the Right Network

Be sure you are connecting your device to the right network. Details about supported devices can be found on our Using Your Devices on the SU Network page.

AirOrangeHelp

Use AirOrangeHelp anywhere on campus to configure your computer, smartphone, and tablet to connect to AirOrangeX with your SU NetID and password. Select this network, then navigate a browser to airorangehelp.syr.edu and follow the instructions for your device.

AirOrangeX

Fast, secure network and internet connection for computers, smartphones, and tablets everywhere on campus. Use AirOrangeX to access University online resources that require your SU NetID and password including MySlice, Blackboard, Answers.syr.edu, and more.

Gadgets&Games

Located only in the University residence halls, Gadgets&Games is a fast, open internet connection for many but not all internet TVs, gaming systems (XBox, Playstation, Wii), streaming devices (Roku 2 and up, Amazon FireTV and Stick, internet radios, Blu-Ray players), and more. Note that Apple TV, Chromecast, Nintendo DS and DS lite, and wireless printers are not supported. Gadgets&Games cannot be used to access University online resources that require your SU NetID and password, nor should it be used for anything involving your personal information.

Your family and guests who don’t have an active SU NetID can connect to the internet everywhere on campus using AirOrangeGuest. They should select this network on their device, then navigate a browser to the guest portal and follow the instructions. AirOrangeGuest is not a secure network; users proceed at their own risk. More details can be found in the AirOrangeGuest visitors and guests guide.

Located only in the Carrier Dome, OrangeHotSpot provides an open internet connection during most major events.
