Wireless access in the residence
halls is available in public areas of Doyle, East, Teresa,
Dujarie and Basil Moreau Halls as well as in all on campus apartments.
In the traditional residence halls some bleedthrough
of the wireless signal may be available in individual rooms.
However, the wireless connection in those rooms should not be
considered a replacement for the "wired" or
ethernet connection available in every room. Wireless connections
are slower and much more susceptible to interference from other
devices such as 2.4 GHz cordless phones, microwaves, and wireless
speakers.
Wireless access in the St. Edward's
University Residence Halls and on the main campus by St. Edward's
residents requires concurrent login to Clean Access. It is advisable
that you make your initial connection to the network using an
ethernet cable as wireless connections may be too slow for the
initial login process. During this initial connection you will
download Clean Access, update the Windows operating system with
critical patches and install and update Symantec AntiVirus. See
the instructions for Clean
Access.
