The AirPennNet-Guest network at Penn

AirPennNet-Guest is a web-based wireless network with limited bandwidth and offers no encryption. It is set up for visitors to Penn or for those with devices not capable of supporting 802.1x. Registration lasts  for up to one week from the onset of registration. Upon successful registration, users will be notified via email when their lease expires and must renew registration after the one week expiration timeframe  

To access the AirPennNet-Guest network, Penn visitors (or guests) simply launch a standard web browser and log in using the registration page (which automatically loads) by entering their guest PennKey and password. All faculty and staff, or those with a long-term Penn affiliation may also sponsor a guest to access the AirPennNet-Guest network. To sponsor a guest, sponsors must log in to the AirPennNet-Guest Sponsored Guest Registration page and provide their own PennKey and password. They must also provide additional contact information for their guest and the MAC address of their guest’s computing device. Initial access to the AirPennNet-Guest network could take as long as 3 minutes while the automated registration completes.

To receive a valid PennKey, a guest must be sponsored by a department. For more information, please see www.upenn.edu/computing/pennkey/guest/index.html.

Alternative Service for Guests

Eligible guests who prefer to use Penn's more robust wireless service may access the AirPennNet service. Connecting to AirPennNet also requires a valid PennKey and password, as well as configuration of an 802.1x-compatible device.
