work, they need a computer — ide
ally a laptop — and a wireless card.
Cards for both PCs and Macs can be
purchased at the University Book
store and other retailers and can
cost anywhere from $60 to $150.
Albrich said the most common is
sue causing problems for students is
differences in operating systems
and software. However, Microcom
puting Services in 151 McKenzie
can help any student, faculty or staff
member with wireless connections
free of charge.
Network Services Director Dale
Smith said the University wireless
network currently supports devices
conforming to the 802.11b stan
dard. Students must be careful
when purchasing their wireless
cards to check the box and make
sure “802.11b” is printed on it so
the card will be compatible.
Students can get access to the
wireless network without spending a
lot of money by borrowing a wireless
card from the Documents Room,
175 McKenzie. Students are re
quired to leave a $20 deposit when
they borrow a card, but they receive
a full refund after returning it.
Lab assistant Chris Diaz said that
on a weekly basis, about 10 students
use the lending service. Diaz said

that overall, students are pleased
with the speed of wireless Ethernet
but would like more locations
across campus to have access to the
wireless network.
Before new locations are ready to
provide access to the wireless net
work, several things must be ac
complished Smith said. First, Net
work Services must survey the
building to determine the best place
to establish an access point because
concrete, steel and books can inter
fere with signal strength.
After the access point location
has been selected, Network Ser
vices must establish a hard-wired
network connection and test
the coverage.
Smith said establishing new ac
cess points takes about eight hours
of labor. He said the technology
is becoming increasingly popular,
but it costs about $2,500 to make
a new location ready for wireless
Internet.
“Almost every University is do
ing this,” said Smith. “Additional
ly, you will find airports, Starbucks
and any place folks hang out are
doing this.”
