CONNECTING TO THE CLUBS WIRELESS NETWORK
 

If you happen to have your personal MacBook with you in a DCRI/Duke Health facility, the Clubs wireless network is the secure way to access the Internet and DCRI network resources (no Remote Access software needed).

Important! Do not confuse Clubs with the Guest wireless network. As the name implies, Guest is not a secure network, intended for visitors or casual users.
