Should the pilot be determined successful, CUIT will expand the pilot to other Residence Halls. Pilot Results: This is a pilot to determine if wireless network traffic in Residence Halls negatively impacts Columbia’s network. *Bridging your wireless connection is not supported, nor is any other brand of wireless router. If your computer – or any computer using your access point is compromised or reported for a copyright violation, all computers will be reformatted. Remember: You are responsible for all network traffic on your port, traffic from your computer, or others using your access point. If you need assistance, you may contact the CUIT Helpdesk by submitting a ticket request online, sending email to or calling the CUIT Helpdesk at 21. This is the only wireless router supported by CUIT*. If you own an Apple AirPort® Express wireless router, please follow the instructions below to set up your secure, wireless access point.

In an effort to provide students with access to as many types of technology resources as they wish, CUIT is conducting a pilot program, allowing students in Furnald, Hartley, and Wallach Halls to install Apple AirPort® Express wireless routers, fully supported by CUIT.
