Where is Wireless Available?
Wireless is available in pretty much every building commonly used by
DCS. This includes the second and third floors of Pratt, the second,
third and fourth floors of Sanford Fleming, and the first, second, third,
fourth, fifth and eighth floors of Bahen. In short we have endeavoured
to make sure that wireless is pretty much available wherever members of
the department have a tendency to be located, including the classrooms in
the Bahen building.
Which Wireless modes does CSLab Use?
The main CSLab Wireless network uses 802.11b/g. However, 802.11a is available
in the Bahen room BA3200. Please note that in order to make
a connection to 802.11a you have to use the correct SSID.
For 802.11a the SSID is: cslaba
For 802.11b/g, the main wifi, the SSID is: cslab
