Why Should I Worry About This?

Some Drew resources require one to be connected either physically to the network with a network or ethernet cable, or to be logged in to the drew1x wireless network. Examples include network printers and network drives. If your device defaults to a wireless connection and you need to access a protected Drew resource, follow the directions below for the operating system you use to prioritize the drew1x wireless network.
