PAL-Gadgets is a wireless network set up on the Purdue West Lafayette campus to allow non-traditional Smart devices to connect to WiFi. This can include devices such as Televisions, VR headsets, Amazon Echo, etc...
PNW-Media is the equivalent on the Purdue Northwest campus. This will also sometimes show as Calnet Media
*note - PNW-Media is also the network used for PNW student residence halls at this time
These networks are available for Faculty and Staff to use for University needs. To request access, click the "Purdue IT Request" button on this page and include the following information:
- The MAC Address of the devices(s)
- This can generally be located in the settings menu of a device, and sometimes is on a sticker attached to the device itself.
- The Building and room number the device will be located in
- The type of device being requested
**Wireless Cameras are not allowed on campus without PUPD approval and are therefore not permitted to be added to PAL-Gadgets**
The network is not available throughout all of campus so the room number is needed to see if it is available and if not, to activate it
