When is it better to use a cabled connection instead of wireless access?
Employees of the college should always use a cabled connection to the network whenever possible; wireless access should be used only when a cabled connection is not available. Wireless access connection speeds are often slower than those you would expect using a cabled connection, simply because of the way the technology works (wireless access is basically a single cabled connection which is then shared by multiple people at a time via the Wireless Access Point). Wireless access at MCC is intended for such uses as checking email while you’re away from your office or light Internet surfing. It is not recommended for regular work applications such as file transfers, viewing graphics-intensive Web pages, etc.
