Make sure your wireless card detects the unique Service Set Identifier (SSID) that is broadcasted by the RU Wireless system. The ssid is rockhurst. If your wireless card is set to automatically detect the SSID, it should configure your laptop accordingly. If your computer does not connect to an access point automatically, you can click view wireless networks or manually enter the SSID in your wireless client.
