PGCC-WLAN Instructions
To connect to a wireless network, a wireless enabled device like a Laptop has to be physically inside a specific geographic location or zone. Inside this zone, devices called Access Points can provide wireless broadband network services to mobile visitors through a Wireless Local Area Network. In computer terms this area is called a Wi-Fi “Hotspot” or “ZONE.”
Wireless access should be available throughout PGCC, Skilled Trade Center, University Town Center, Laurel College Center, and Westphalia Trade Center. These HotSpots are open for access by personally owned, wireless-enabled devices.
A PGCC Owl Link account is required to connect to the PGCC-WLAN wireless network.
Connecting your device to the PGCC-WLAN Wireless Network:
(1) Left-click the network icon in the system tray of the taskbar (typically found in the bottom right corner of the computer desktop) and then select the option: "PGCC-WLAN" and click Connect.
(2) If prompted to continue connecting, click Connect.
(3)* Enter your Owl Link user name and password then click OK.
*Please note that Step 3 may not be necessary if you are using a college-owned device and are logged in already with your Owl Link account.
