PSU Wireless

Is your cell phone on the PSU WiFi (look for the fan)?  The connectivity is needed for the Microsoft Authenticator app and Teams will be more reliable on campus if you use the PSU WiFi. While on campus, go to https://wireless.psu.edu on your phone and follow the instructions to connect to the PSU wireless. Those with a PSU account should use the PSU wireless and not the guest wireless. This will results in better performance and connectivity.

WiFi Calling

Are you struggling to make or receive calls on your smartphone while on campus? Most phones and carriers support WiFi calling. Please see what your carrier supports.
