Wireless access points operate within the 2.4GHz frequency range and are prone to interference from microwave ovens, other unknown access points in the area, some cordless phones and many other environmental factors that may be passing between you and the access point at any given time. Though the wireless protocol was designed to be robust, it is still radio frequency, and it can be interrupted by various pieces of equipment and/or structures.

There is no charge to connect to the wireless network, but you do need to purchase a wireless Ethernet card that complies with the WiFi 802.11b/g standard.

If possible, get a different ISP, preferably a national provider with good customer support. Many local ISP's do not have good equipment and will continue to drop your connection. If another ISP is not available, contact an Instructional Technology Consultant (ITC) about obtaining a program that will run in the background and repeatedly "ping" your ISP while you are online to try to prevent it from disconnecting.

If you are in the process of paying and your phone line drops out or your internet connection breaks for some reason, you are going to be wondering if your payment transaction has been accepted or not. You are not going to know, so you are best to call up our customer service hotline and speak to a service representative that can tell you if your transaction was carried out or not.

Wireless has been installed in every campus building except the Market Caf?, Event Center, the parking garages and Campus Village. You can also connect to the network in the outdoor areas around the Student Union, Business Tower, University House, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. library, and along El Paseo De Cesar E. Chavez.

Here are several things that can be done to solve the disconnect or slow speed issues or find where the problem is. Phone Line Issues: Having Call Waiting enabled while your modem is in use will cause problems when someone tries calling your phone line. To disable Call Waiting dial *70, before the number. Other devices on the same phone line, such as a telephone, fax or answering machine may interfere with your modems operation, even if you are not using the other devices at the time.

Check the cables that connect the computer's modem to the wall jack - make sure they are firmly in place. If the modem is internal, reboot your computer when you experience the disconnect then try to get online again. Try moving the telephone cord that connects your computer to the wall jack to another wall jack in your home or office. If you get better performance, then you know there is something wrong with the original wall jack or line that feeds it.

There are a number of possible reasons for this problem and you may need to try a few different things to solve it: The ideal telephone line for your modem is one that is not shared with a fax, phone or part of an internal telephone network. If you have to use the same line for the Internet and your telephone, then unplug the phone (especially if it is a TouchfoneTM 200) then plug in the cable from your modem - do not use a double adapter.

You won't lose any files. When S-Sync replaces a file, first it copies it to a temporary file in the destination folder. Only after the copy operation completes successfully, the program replaces the target file with the temporary one. So, in the case of a connection failure only the temporary files is affected. Just synchronize again when the connection is restored.

sharable link ] I can tell you what we are doing in beta, but it is subject to change, tweaking, etc. before we launch in order to avoid exploits. Currently, if you crash out/disconnect, when you return as long as you don't move, cast, attack, etc. you have a temporary invul buff on you. The idea is that you have some time to re-group with your party members and re-orient yourself, especially if you disconnected in a nasty spot.(beta 2)

The WestConn wireless network is part of a DMZ network. Wireless users will only be able to access items on the University network similar to when they connect to the internet from home. Some services that are known to have security issues have been blocked. Please note that wireless service is not intended to replace the University wired network.

Mbs. Actual throughput will only be about half of this, at best. This is the 802.11b standard. We do not yet support the "g" standard.

Yes. Wireless transmissions between your wireless modem and our base station are encrypted and therefore secure.

Yes. 10 POP mail accounts, 1 Domain Name (not including Network Solutions registration fee), 8 IP addresses (5 usable) or NAT, access to 30,000+ fast, stable newsgroups, priority tech support, guaranteed bandwidth and uptime.

First, unlike analog telephone transmissions, digital transmissions of Internet traffic are much more difficult to intercept because of the complex cryptology associated with the technology. Second, our system provides over-the-air encryption, which cryptographically scrambles the data bits, preventing anyone "listening" to the airwaves from deciphering any messages. In fact, the our system's over-the-air link may be the most secure leg of the typical user's Internet connection. No.

The wireless network has a nominal speed of 11 megabits per second. Depending on signal quality and how many other people are using the wireless Ethernet through a particular access point, usable speed could be much less.

To setup your own laptop for UTORcwn (campus wireless network), go to http://www.utoronto.ca/ic/utordist/wireless . For more information on wireless and wired connections at E.J. Pratt Library and Emmanuel library see http://library.vicu.utoronto.ca/infotech/Connecting_ownlaptop.htm

You may want to consider changing your router to channel 1, 6, 11. Channel 6 is the most commonly used channel for 2.4 Ghz devices (including cordless phones, wireless keyboards and mice). In most cases you will get the maximum range on channel 1. Make sure that the router in question is positioned in the highest point available. For example, if the building is two stories high, you need to place the router on the second floor - not the first floor.
