The UNLV Wireless Network is available to currently enrolled UNLV
students, faculty, and staff. The Office of Information Technology
hopes wireless internet access is a convenient way for you to search the
web, check your e-mail, study, and conduct research. Many new
locations are being installed each month. Look for the UNLV
wireless signs posted around campus. Be sure you have your
wireless enabled device and RebelCard ready.
UNLV
Wireless Network is:
-
A short-range network. You must be in a defined
area where the radio signal is available. If you move out of this
area, the radio signal will be too weak and you will be disconnected.
-
A shared network, generally faster than a modem
(50 Kbps) and can be as fast as 500 Kbps, depending on how busy it is.
-
Does not work with cellular phones, pagers, Palm VII's, Bluetooth, or many other wireless technologies.
-
Is compatible with most IEEE 802.11b/g products,
including the three most common on campus:
Apple Airport,
Cisco Aironet,
Netgear,
Linksys and
D-Link.
