Many networked devices are designed for home use, as opposed to a managed network such as GeauxWiFi. As a result, these devices will either simply will not work with the Campus network, or will cause interference with GeauxWiFi.
Known problematic devices:
NOTE: You are required to register your devices for both the WIRED (Ethernet) and WIRELESS network.
Using Wireless:
Connect and Register Your Device (click wireless network name for instructions for that network)
The new UL-WiFi is in the testing phase in the Dupre Library and in the IT Help Desk in Stephens Hall. If you are on the 3rd floor of the library, you will notice a new WiFi SSID (that's a fancy term for wireless access to the internet) called "UL-WiFi". This is the new wireless network.
As the testing phase continues it will be implemented into the 1st and 2nd floors of the library. If everything goes well, the new system will replace the current UWIN and RESnet wireless networks throughout the entire campus by Spring of 2015.
The use of mobile hotspots is also strongly discouraged
The ability to share your cellular data plan with your laptop or other devices can possibly work great for you, but will cause immediate interference for other residents. It is also important to remember that others around you may connect to your cell phone and use your data bandwidth, which may end up costing you overage fees.
1. Using your wireless device, find and connect to the GeauxGuest SSID.
