Faculty, staff, and students who wish to connect their untagged devices (e.g., personal laptops, Internet of Things devices, gaming consoles, etc.) to the internet can use the Apollo network. Apollo offers non-secure connection to the internet, with no access to WCM systems or applications, apart from Papercut printing services. You can register untagged devices for Apollo access by visiting apollo.weill.cornell.edu from a computer connected to the WCMC network or to Cisco Secure client VPN. Review our instructions on how to self-register your IoT dorm devices for the Apollo network.
You can access the Apollo wireless network in any Weill Cornell Medicine location, with the exception of NYP hospital space.
