Wireless Connections

A new test Wireless program has begun on the 3rd and 4th floor of Barton and Lundgren Residence Halls.  The service will function exactly like familiar wireless networks around campus.  For help with this please visit CITES' wireless support pages.  This new Wireless program will be tested in these two halls, and if successful, will be expanded to the rest of the halls.

In the rest of the halls wireless connections are NOT allowed or available in residence hall rooms, but there are wireless access points available in certain Housing areas, as well as in buildings across campus. Housing is continually adding wireless access points in public areas. For information on public access point locations in Housing and other buildings across campus, as well as information on how to connect to them, please see CITES' wireless support pages.

To connect to campus wireless access points, you need a wireless network adapter capable of supporting the 802.11b wireless standard. 802.11g network adapters are backward compatible with the 802.11b standard, and will also connect to UIUCnet wireless. For more information, see CITES' wireless FAQ.

Housing currently provides wireless access in select public locations across campus. To identify a wireless hotspot, look for a sign similar to the one to the right. Hotspots are currently available in many public areas (lounges, dining, laundry, classrooms, etc) of Allen, BE, Clark, Daniels, FAR, Goodwin & Green, Gregory Drive,  ISR, LAR, PAR, Peabody Drive, and Sherman, TVD, Weston Exploration offices & classrooms.
