WIRELESS WEB ACCESS

Our campus is completely wireless. 

Features of the JCU wireless network:

  • Works with current wireless / wi-fi protocols – A, B, and G
  • Automatically adjusts for access point failures should any occur
  • Automatically notifies the Information Technology Services staff of any wireless system equipment failures
  • Allows more flexibility in access methods
  • Allows users to disable unauthorized wireless networking devices, such as wireless routers, that interfere with the operation of the network

RECOMMENDED WIRELESS CARDS

Our wireless system does not support all wireless cards.

If you are purchasing a new laptop, please verify through the vendor that the laptop does NOT use Atheros card. We have noticed that some HP/Compaq, Lenovo and some Dell laptops are now using the Atheros cards.  Ask for a different wireless card in your system if the Atheros card is installed by default.

We also recommend that you avoid wireless cards from NetGear, Belkin, DLink DWL-650+ & SMC.

Here is a list of some recommended cards:
CISCO Aironet Linksys Wireless (Subsidiary of CISCO)
Lucent ORiNOCO PC Card Gold 3COM AirConnect 11Mbps Wireless LAN PC Card
Intel 29xxABG Dell TrueMobile 1180 (imbedded PCI card that comes
Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN PC Card                                 in Dell Laptop)

Possible vendors are CDW & Microwarehouse (online), and MicroCenter & Best Buy (local).
