FSW employees and FSW students need to connect to the Florida SouthWestern State College Wi-Fi
The Office of Information Technology will be modifying the way users access the college guest Wi-Fi service. The FSW_Guest network has been removed and replaced with a new FSW_Public wireless network. The new FSW_Public network will require users to register their information to gain access and their accounts will be temporary. This network has limited access and bandwidth will be capped. Please follow the guide below to connect your device.
