Wireless Connection
If your computer is lready already connected to a wireless network, you will see this icon in the System Tray: PICTURE
Clicking once on the icon will give a list of available networks detected by the computer. It may take a few moments for the computer to detect all networks in the area. Resting the cursor on top of the name of the wireless network will give you a full system status overview. PICTURE
Generally, covered areas will receive a Good or Excellent signal (3 or more bars). You may be able to connect with lesser signals, but it is more likely that the system will disconnect or have slower performance. We cannot guarantee complete reliability in areas with less than Good coverage.
The strength of the wireless signal varies at different points on campus. Wireless access at some sites is much faster; for example, do not be surprised if your connection is slower in the library than it is in your dorm room.
Ethernet Connection
If your computer is already connected to a wired connection, you will see a network connection icon in the system tray. If your Wireless Switch (located on the front or side of your computer) is turned off, or if you are not yet ceonncted to an availble wireless network you'll see this icon. PICTURE
