What is a wireless internet network?
A wireless internet network will allow you to access the internet from your personal laptop without the need and/or use of a cable. You will be able to utilize the internet on campus, indoors and outdoors, as long as your laptop is capable of wireless networking. How is this possible? Naropa University has installed Wireless Access Points around campus. Once your laptop has been setup to use the network, your wireless card will automatically detect a signal from these access points. If your laptop detects a signal, you will be able to access the internet just as you would if you were in the computer lab or on your home computer. The strength of the signal detected will determine the speed of the internet on your laptop: a weak (low) signal will provide slightly slower access than a stronger (higher) signal. Where are the “hot spots” on campus? A hot spot is a location where there is a wireless signal. The hot spots are: Arapahoe Campus • Computer lab in the Administration Building base
