Wi-Fi Issues: Patrons who are on campus have the option of connecting to the PBAU_GUEST Wi-Fi. This network is not configured to allow access to many of the library’s resources. Students may get an error message such as “this site can’t be reached”. To troubleshoot this, we ask if the patron is on campus. If yes, then we ask which Wi-Fi they are connected to. If they say that they are connected to PBAU_GUEST, we suggest that they switch to PBAU_SAILFISH. In order to connect to this network, they will need to register their device and sign in with their myPBA username and password. More information about our Wi-Fi and the directions for how to connect can be found here: https://guides.library.pba.edu/services/wifi
