New ßÏÀÖÔ° Wireless Improves User Experience
|
VALDOSTA – As fall semester approaches, ßÏÀÖÔ° students, faculty and staff can look forward to an improved wi-fi network, now powered by SmartPass Connect. The new ßÏÀÖÔ° Wireless network helps ßÏÀÖÔ° achieve its goal of being an inviting and dynamic institution, through the use of technology.
Some features offered through ßÏÀÖÔ° Wireless include the following:
• Easy connection - To begin using ßÏÀÖÔ° Wireless, select “ßÏÀÖÔ°-StartHere” from your network listing. A configuration wizard automatically creates a profile for your device.
• One-time setup - You no longer have to re-enter your login information each time you wish to connect to ßÏÀÖÔ° Wireless. After the configuration wizard is complete, your connection will be transferred to the “ßÏÀÖÔ°-Personal” network. For the semester (180 days), your device will automatically connect to “ßÏÀÖÔ°-Personal” when in range.
• Off-campus settings - Even when you are away from campus and not connected to ßÏÀÖÔ° Wireless, your network settings are preserved. When you return to campus, you’re automatically connected.
