How to Create a Guest Wireless Account

Guest wireless access accounts can be created by any SUNY Oswego employee. Accounts are intended for providing wireless access to individuals visiting campus as guests. For groups of users coming to campus to take part in an event or activity, please contact Campus Life’s Event Management Office at 315.312.2301 to have access set up.

These accounts are intended for basic wireless use and may not work with certain types of streaming or specialized access.

Getting Connected to the Guest Wireless: Follow the instructions on How to Connect to Wi-Fi as a Guest

1. Using a web browser from an on-campus location, go to http://guest.oswego.edu, and log in to the page using your Laker NetID credentials.

2. Enter the guest’s personal information. The following must be included for each account:

   1. First Name

   2. Last Name

   3. Email Address

   4. Phone Number

   5. Reason for Visit

   6. The Group Tag field should be left blank.

3. If desired, edit the duration and start/end date for the credentials. If this is not edited, the credentials will be active for five days, starting from the time of creation.

   NOTE: When setting time durations for accounts, the start and end times you define are applicable in the time zone for the location you pick.

4. Click Create to create the guest account. An Account Information dialog box displays the account details, including the guest username and password.

5. The user will receive an email with the username, password, and active period for the credentials to the email you included. You will also be directed to a confirmation screen with this information, which you can keep.

   NOTE: You do not need to do anything to notify the user. The system takes care of this automatically.
