Wireless Network

Connecting to a Wireless Network

Instructions walking you through the connection process are available on the MyXu Portal (in both the 'Student Services' and 'Connection Center' tabs).  Visit http://wifisetup.xavier.edu to set up new devices or to repair an existing device's wireless configuration settings. 

Personal Wireless Routers are Prohibited

  • Personal wireless routers (and wireless printers that broadcast their own interfering networks) are prohibited at Xavier.

    Both types of devices broadcast their own wireless networks, hindering your computer's ability to communicate with Xavier's wireless access points.  The interference from these devices is the most common source of intermittent and unreliable wireless connections in the dorms.

Having Connection Issues?

  • Your network driver may be out-of-date
    The most common cause of issues is an outdated network adapter driver on your computer. 
  • Update your current network adapter driver, if you have an Intel wireless card:
    Intel Driver Update Utility

  • Poor signal quality
    Resulting in intermittent connection to the network
  • Need assistance with wireless?
