Welcome to ResNet!

ResNet is your connection to the Purchase College network and the Internet. All residential rooms have fast ethernet ports for high-speed Internet access.  Wireless access is also available in many locations across the campus, and will be extended throughout the academic buildings in 2007.

Wired or Wireless?

The convenience and mobility that wireless Ethernet provides has its limits. Wireless networks can be intermittent or unstable, and the bandwidth is limited.  The good news is that you can use either wired or wireless in many locations throughout the campus.  Most laptops sold today have both wired and wireless ports, and inexpensive wireless adapters are available for desktop computers.

All of the College's residential rooms have wired fast Etrhernet ports.
