Security enhancements have been made to the UWL wireless network.
This configuration guide applies to all existing and new UWL
wireless network connections for faculty, staff and students. This
guide assumes your wireless card is installed and working. To use
the UWL wireless network authentication is required. To
authenticate you must have a valid UWL login id and password.
Requirements:
Windows Vista
Your UWL EMAIL LOGIN ID lastname.firs (the first eight characters of your last name followed by a period and the first four characters of your first name (e.g.: winters.bill))
Your UWL EMAIL PASSWORD (for students the default is the last four digits of your student ID, for faculty/staff the default is the last four digits of your SSN number, followed by your month and day of birth, and @UWL e.g. ID/SSN=123456789, BD=Jan 11, 1980, PW=67890111@UWL. If you have previously changed your password, you will use that instead of the default. If the default does not work, please stop in to 103 Wing with a photo ID to have your password reset to the default)
