Back-to-School Part III: New Wireless Networks

|

NOTE: If you use the Missouri S&T wireless network, you need to reconfigure your device as soon as possible.

Missouri S&T has installed new, more secure wireless networks. There a few critical issues you need to know about to make sure you can access the new network.

• The old WEP wireless network will be deactivated on March 4 and everyone who uses a wireless device on campus will need to reconfigure their connection for the new MST-WPA or MST-PSK networks.

• We’ve created easy-to-follow instructions for updating your wireless connection on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Macintosh OS X operating systems.

• If your device is not WPA-compatible, you may be able to get a software upgrade from the manufacturer. Here are some common devices and their manufacturers’ websites:
