Division of IT: Networking
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.MizzouWirelessThe MizzouWireless network includes several useful features:
AccessThe wireless network is available in many MU campus locations. Check our coverage map or list for specific details. There are several different standards for wireless technology. The campus standard is 802.11g but 802.11b NICs are also supported. Most new laptops include an integrated wireless NIC. The Division of IT supports the following internal NICs:
Additional InformationPerformance ExpectationsThe wireless network uses "shared" connections, which means that all users connected to a specific AP share that connection. You can expect the wireless network to provide adequate connection speeds to handle the majority of applications you use, such as e-mail, Web browsing, etc. However, large files (such as MP3s) may not transfer as quickly with wireless technology and may impact the performance of wireless service for other users.Personal Wireless Access Point InstallationUnauthorized 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. |
