ResNet Wireless Service

Wireless access points were added to the ResNet Network in dining rooms and the University Apartments Community Center in the spring of 2005. Smith Hall, which opened in the fall of 2006, offers ResNet Wireless Service in all common areas (meeting rooms, lounges, study rooms, etc.). Ogg Hall, which opens in the fall of 2007 will also offer ResNet Wireless access in all common areas. In addition, during the summer of 2007 ResNet Wireless Service was installed in almost all common areas throughout the residence halls.
