wireless
network
Wireless is NOT available in your dorm room, you might pick
up a weak signal from the lobby but you must use the port in
your room for internet access.
Smiley Library is setup with wireless technology. Laptops
are available for check-out at the main circulation desk
allowing students to "surf" the internet from practically
anywhere in the library.
"Hot Spots" for internet access
are located in all residence hall lobbies, Eyrie Cafe,
Clingenpeel,
Conservatory, Inman Plaza, Rec Center, Stedman, Student Center,
TBerry and
the Quad.
The setup and use of unauthorized wireless access
points is prohibited. This helps
minimize interference problems between wireless networks and
other devices using radio frequencies.
For XP users
to connect to the CMU wireless network.
- Make sure your wireless connection is enabled
- Right Click on Wireless Connection and choose View
Available Wireless Networks
- Highlight CMUWAP and click on Connect
- If you are given a security warning choose to Connect Anyway
- Now open up your web browser and try to go to the internet.
If you have not already registered your PC on our network, you will
be prompted to register it, otherwise you should be able to get to
the internet.
This connection will not give you access to your home site
(Z drive),
only the internet. If you have trouble setting up your
connection, contact the
CMU
technology helpdesk or stop by the Campus Computing
Outpost Office. Internet speed will be dependent on the
number of users using the wireless connection and the
proximity to the wireless access point.
