Student Wireless Network at KSC New for Fall 2011! Randall Hall, Carle Hall and all Owl’s Nests are now completely wireless. Wireless access points have been installed and wireless access will now replace wired access in these halls. Students can choose to access either the secure wireless network or unsecure wireless network. The difference between the two is a secure wireless network protects the data being transmitted across it by encrypting the information. If you plan to transmit sensitive information over wireless, you should use the secure wireless network. You can find the configuration instructions for both networks listed below. What is a secure wireless network? The goal of a secure wireless network is to protect the data being transmitted across it by encrypting the information. Unencrypted wireless networks are inherently insecure because they transmit your information into the open air where anyone can attempt to receive it. Depending on what data and how it is being transmitted, you may or may not need the encryption provided by a secure wireless connection. It is a choice available to students. The secure encryption allows a user to send and receive confidential information across the wireless network. Most secure sites, like online banking and web sites that provide online purchasing are already secure. They encrypt your information over the Internet and both wireless and wired networks, so there is little need for the average student to use the secure wireless network. The secure wireless network connection will not protect you if you give out personal or confidential information to bad websites or through email. Where is wireless available at Keene State? Wireless zones are available in various areas across campus. Some residence halls contain wireless primarily in their common areas, but are not predominantly wireless. Students should plan to bring the requirements for a wired network. Visit the KSC Wireless Map for a complete listing of the wireless zones on campus. How to connect to the wireless network:
