Step 1 – Open your Wi-Fi settings  

The first thing you’ll want to do is go into the Settings app on your iPhone. Once there, you should see the Wi-Fi settings section appear as an option like this:

Go ahead and tap on the section that says Wi-Fi, which should bring you to a new page.


Step 2 – Connect to PioneerNet

With the new page that pops up, you should see a section called “Other Networks” with the “PioneerNet” network inside of it.

Tap on “PioneerNet” to connect to our Wi-Fi and a new page should open up.


Step 3 – Log in

In order to use our Wi-Fi, you’ll need to log in using your University account information. It’ll ask you for a username and password, which should be the same as what you use to log into University computers and your email without the @pointpark.edu.

All you need to do is tap “Trust” in the top right corner to let your iPhone know that you trust us. 

 

Step 5 – Enjoy

That’s it! You should now see a little check mark next to the “PioneerNet” network that means you’re connected to our Wi-Fi.
