Wireless Access Point

Information Technology allows students to setup wireless access points in their room as long as they do not cause problems for other users. Be sure to plug the WAN port into the wall; your port may be disabled if the AP is not properly installed.

Wireless access points must use security features to keep unauthorized users from using the connection. You are responsible for all access coming from the device. Information Technology will be performing routine scans to make sure access points are not left open; offending users will be contacted and instructed to secure their access point. Read your product documentation to learn how to setup secure access.

Information regarding how to securely setup a access point or router will be posted in the future.
