Question:
How do I connect my devices to WiFi?
Answer:
Berry is the secured WiFi network available to students, faculty, and staff**. Information sent over this network is protected by the highest levels of encryption. This network also has access to the greatest amount of bandwidth, making it considerably faster than the other two networks.
**Access to this network requires your Active Directory credentials. Your Active Directory username is the first part of your email address. (For example, if your email address is jsmith@berry.edu or john.smith@vikings.berry.edu, your Active Directory username is jsmith or john.smith, respectively.) These credentials are used for campus WiFi, campus computer login, and campus printing. You can reset your Active Directory password in the Berry MyApps portal
***Faculty vs Student: The Berry wifi is segments such that Students and Faculty have different access to resources based on login credentials. When logging into the Berry wifi, Faculty credentials will grant access to berry domain assets like shared drives and printers. Student credentials will not grant this access, therefore students who log into the wifi will need to use print.berry.edu to print to berry printers.
BerryGuest is an open network available to guests of the college. BerryGuest has no authentication or encryption, so information sent over this network is not as protected as information sent over Berry or wired Ethernet connections. Students, faculty, staff should use Berry instead of BerryGuest.
EZConnect is designed for devices that need wireless internet access but don’t support the authentication required by the Berry network. Some examples of devices this network is designed for include the Microsoft Xbox, Sony Playstation, and Apple TV systems.
Students will receive an EZConnect password in their Berry email before classes begin. The email will be from no-reply@extremecloudiq.com.
If you are a student, faculty member or staff person and have difficulty connecting your device to EZConnect or Berry, please submit a ticket or contact the Technical Support Desk at 706-238-5838 or computing@berry.edu for assistance.
