Wireless Network ServiceWireless network service provides flexible and mobile access to a variety of IT resources and the Internet. Wireless networking technology works by transmitting signals between wireless Network Interface Cards (NICs), located in your computer, and wireless access points (APs) located throughout the campus. There are several different standards for wireless technology. The campus standard is 802.11g, but 802.11b NICs are also supported. Unauthorized APs are prohibited by MU's business policy 5:085. If unauthorized APs are identified (usually by their interference with other services), the owners will be asked to remove them from the network. There are two wireless networks available:MizzouWirelessThe MizzouWireless network is for use by University faculty, staff, and students. MizzouWireless includes several useful features:
MizzouWireless-GuestThe MizzouWireless-Guest network is available for short-term use by University guests with a department sponsor. A WEP key is required to connect to this network. Please contact the sponsoring department's IT Professional to obtain the WEP key. The key is changed monthly. The MizzouWireless-Guest network is intended for short-term use only. Long-term university guests should obtain a single sign-on ID (SSO ID) in order to use the MizzouWireless network for the duration of their visit.
