Students: Wireless is NOT available in your dorm room, you might pick up a weak signal from the lobby but you must use the network port and cable in your room for internet access

Faculty and Staff: A wireless connection will NOT give you access to your Z-drive or outlook, only the internet and web-mail.

If you have trouble setting up your connection, contact the CMU technology helpdesk at 660-248-6197 or stop by the Technology Services Outpost Office. Internet speed will be dependent on the number of users using the wireless connection and the proximity to the wireless access point.
