Welcome To PAL 2.0

What is PAL 2.0?

Purdue AirLink (PAL) 2.0 is the standard method for connecting to Purdue's wireless network. PAL2.0 does not use VPN connections for authentication, so the connection is faster and more reliable.

Why should I use PAL 2.0?

PAL 2.0 is a new method of connecting to and using the wireless network here at Purdue. It is more secure, reliable, and convenient than the first version of PAL. It uses encrypted and authenticated connections, also known as wi-fi protected access (WPA) connections, to Purdue's wireless access points. By using PAL 2.0, users are less likely to experience dropped connections, and they have the ability to roam to other access points without interruption. For example, it will be possible to sit in a lounge on the third floor of Rawls Hall and work on class notes then take that laptop to the first floor for class without dropping the wireless connection.
