Wireless Internet

Wireless internet connection

Red Draggon WiFI, the college's wireless internet, is provided in every residence hall and academic building on campus.  To gain access to our wireless network, you will need either an 802.11B or 802.11G wireless unit for your computer.

802.11 B or G is the current industry WiFi standard.  If you purchase a new laptop computer and it comes with built in WiFi, it will be 802.11 B/G.  If you need to purchase wireless for your desktop or laptop, remember to tell the sales representative at the place of business you choose for your wireless purchase that you needed a WiFi 802.11 B or G wireless unit.  For desktop computer, it is recommended that you purchase an external USB wireless unit.

Wireless signal

The College's Red Dragon WiFi computer network operates in the 2.4 GHz radio frequency spectrum.  Any wireless device that also operates at 2.4 GHz will interfere with our wireless computer network and degrade signal strength, resulting in poor Red Dragon WiFi signal quality.

Please note that any device operating at 2.4 GHz will interfere and degrade the signal quality of our Red Dragon WiFi computer network.  This includes personal wireless routers.  Therefore, no device operating at 2.4 GHz is allowed in the residence halls.  This include, but is not limited to, 2.4 GHz cordless phones and personal wireless routers.
