The Carleton Guest Wifi Network: Getting Connected

Summary

How to connect to the wifi if you are a guest at the college.

Body

Carleton students, faculty, and staff, as well as guests from other campuses that use eduroam, should use eduroam to connect to the campus wifi network. Everyone else can use the Carleton Guest wifi network:

  1. Connect to the CarletonGuests wifi network
  2. Open up a browser window (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc)
  3. If your browser does not automatically show you the Guest Network wifi registration page, go to https://go.carleton.edu/networkCarleton College Guest Network WiFi Registration Page
  4. Click "Log In"
  5. You may be warned that you are about to send information over an unsecured network. This is because the Guest network is less secure than the main campus networks.

Troubleshooting Connectivity Between Devices

If two connected devices (phone and Chromecast, for instance) are registered on clearpass1.carleton.edu/guest and both are connected to CarletonGuest and you still don’t see the device, make sure that your phone/tablet/laptop does NOT randomize or make private its MAC address for the CarletonGuest network (Google disable private address [device name] or disable randomized mac address [device name] for device-specific instructions).

More Information

  • Bittorrent is blocked on CarletonGuests. If you need to be able to bittorent, please contact the ITS Helpdesk
    Technician note: tickets should be assigned to InfoSec - CC or the SIG Director
