PWPSD has a network available only for Staff and Students of our Organization. Some sites in PWPSD do have a PWPSD Guests network as well that has a Pre-Shared Key. If your device does not support the PWPSD Students and Staff network and you have to use the PWPSD guest network, do so. However, It has worse coverage, is slower, is less secure, and is more restrictive than the PWPSD Students and Staff network. PWPSD devices should automatically join but personal device’s will need to be manually added. Some of these devices will properly pick up the default settings the client needs to join the wireless but in some cases they do not and you will need the below information. A device should be ‘up to date’ as well. Please ensure you apply any Windows/iOS/Android/ChromeOS/etc updates if you are having troubles connecting to PWPSD wireless. If the device is very old or out of date it may not be capable of joining either of PWPSD’s networks.

Instructions for connecting to
PWPSD Students and Staff

Different devices will ask for different information, in different order, so steps will vary. If your device has ‘remembered’ the PWPSD Guest network, ensure you get your device to 'forget it'.
