Wi-Fi - Connect to "parkland-guest" on Windows

Description of how guests can access the Parkland Wi-Fi on campus from a personal device that is running the Windows operating system.

  • ParklandOne credentials are retained for two weeks, preventing the need to authenticate on a daily basis so long as the device is active on Parkland’s Wi-Fi network within that two week time-frame. The 14 day counter is reset every time the system connects.
  • Students must have an active Parkland email account in order to sign on to the Parkland Wi-Fi with their ParklandOne credentials. If not, please create a guest account: parkland-guest Wi-Fi - Create a Guest Account
  • Traffic on the "parkland-guest" wireless network is not encrypted (unless you are accessing a secure site via HTTPS).
  • Users will be given limited access to Parkland network resources.

1. Connect to the network by left clicking on the wi-fi icon Parkland SSID Selection Screen on the taskbar.



2. This will display all of the available wireless connections. Select parkland-guest and click Connect.
Note: You can select the check box next to Connect Automatically to avoid repeating this step.



3. Open up a web browser. Your browser should automatically redirect to the Wi-Fi login page.



4. Click the button to create a Guest account

5. FIll out the contact information and check the box to accept terms and conditions, and click Connect

Troubleshooting Tips 
On Android devices, you may need to select “Phone MAC” instead of “Randomized MAC” under the “MAC address type”.
