Connecting to wireless Internet

Staff and student procedure for accessing the Internet with a personally-owned computer (or iPad, iPod Touch, phone, Kindle, Android tablet, etc.)
  1. Turn on your device.
  2. Connect to the wireless network called "public".
  3. Open a web browser (Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, or Chrome). Note: There is an issue with the Chrome browser which causes the initial page load to fail. Click "Reload" and the login page should appear correctly.
  4. On the user agreement page, enter your OSD username and password. The network security and content filtering system (aka PaloAlto) will then apply the appropriate content filtering rules for your user account instead of assuming you are an elementary student or guest.
  5. Enter the web address you want to visit.
Note: We're still working out some glitches. See https://sites.google.com/a/oregonsd.net/technology/documentation/wireless-network-access for more complete information and a FAQ.
