If you have connection needs not satisfied by the wireless network, please contact your host or Tom Rockwell tdr@msu.edu or phone extension 5569.
This is the simplest connection method for use in the Atrium and adjacent classrooms. (You may also find this network in 3rd floor offices, but the signal is weak and performance is likely unacceptable.)
To connect to MSUnet Wireless Guest network:
See http://www.wireless.msu.edu/ for more information.
Using the guest network is easier, see above. The guest and non-guest networks run on the same channels, so there is no performance advantage to using one or the other. If you do hit a firewall limitation, use this connection method.
To connect to MSUnet Wireless network:
While there is a bandwidth limit on the Guest wireless, typical usage such as email, web and web video should not be impacted. See http://www.wireless.msu.edu/ for more information.
