In order to connect to EC_Wireless, your device must be registered. Laptops and phones should automatically prompt you to sign in using your Elmira College credentials once you try to connect to the EC_Wireless network. All other devices (smart TVs, Roku, gaming systems, Amazon Echos, etc.), however, must be registered manually. You can do this using the purple "Register a Device" button found on the right-hand side of this page.
If you continue to experience issues, please email your device's Mac address to helpdesk@elmira.edu and IT will assist you. The Mac address for most devices can be found under Network settings. For more specific instructions, Google has directions for every type of device.
Please note that wireless printers are not compatible with our network and wireless routers are prohibited.
Elmira College students should always be connecting to the EC_Wireless network, not our Guest network.
