All students have access to PT电子's Wireless Network. The secure Wi-Fi offers an encrypted and safe connection to the PT电子 network, which includes full internet access as well as access to PT电子 Campus Resources including WeevilNet, Email, Library Resources, and Blackboard.

Students will use their PT电子 email address (xxxxxxxx@sydotnet.net) and PT电子 password (Um1234567890) to connect to Wi-Fi on their devices.

Please enter an IT work order if you need assistance connecting to the WIFI.

Please note that if you are experiencing issues on your Wi-Fi-connected device or have recently changed your PT电子 password, you may need to "Forget the Network" on your device and reconnect to the network. Your device remembers each Wi-Fi network you joined on that device, and it automatically joins that network whenever it's in range, so you will need to re-enter your PT电子 login credentials to re-join the connection.

Some TVs are not compatible with ethernet or ethernet adapters, so do a little bit of research before purchasing one.

Printers cannot be connected to Wi-Fi. Use a printer cable to connect your laptop to the printer.
