WiFi Adapters

Most laptops and many mobile devices have 802.11a/b/g/n (“WiFi”) equipment built in. If you’re not sure whether or not yours has such a device, refer to your equipment manufacturer.

We recommend purchasing an adapter with the following specifications for optimal performance on Duke’s wireless network.
