Wifi?

<p>I'm here for summer with FSAP and the wifi is terrible. Is it like that during the year? Should I buy an ethernet cable. What's going on?</p>

2

<p>Get an Ethernet cable. The Wifi isn’t that good. I seriously hope it’s one of the things they try to improve.</p>

<p>There wasn’t even wifi in the dorms four years ago and you had to pay for internet access. Be happy with what’s there.</p>

<p>When I was at ArtSci weekend staying in Park I used my iPod Touch to get internet in the evening and it was very strong. What dorm are you in?</p>

<p>IIRC I also used it on the main campus and I think it was just as strong.</p>

<p>I second Ravnzcroft. The wifi is unfortunate, but they may be fixing it before next year (or maybe that’s just wishful thinking?) Regardless, bring a ethernet cable for sure.</p>

6

<p>For whatever reason, I cannot connect to WUFI-S. My computer rejects it 10 min after I leave STS every time…</p>

<p>So I just use WUFI, and it works more than fast enough. Supposedly the SU senators are doing something about the issues.</p>

7

<p>Really? I hope they do. I can’t use ethernet for whatever reason, and WUFI is pretty damn slow.</p>

8

<p>What do you mean you can’t use Ethernet?</p>

<p>matcat, whats Park like? I’ll be living there starting this fall.</p>

<p>I have no problem with WUFI-S in the dorms 90% of the time, but there’s times when I just can’t connect. Eventually I just plug in and leave it like that the rest of the year.</p>

<p>I’ve never had a problem connecting to wufi-s on my iphone.
I’ve had major problems connecting with my 360…only guestwifi-wufi worked and only part of the time.</p>

12

<p>RaVN: dunno, my computer never recognizes when the ethernet is plugged in. it’s a messed up computer when it comes to network connections</p>

13

<p>You might want to get that checked out at STS right when you arrive in the fall. It could be a problem for you since the wifi is slow.</p>

14

<p>Yeah, I’ve been lazy though.</p>

15

<p>Hmm for an artsci weekend I just used the WUSTL guest wifi? It wasn’t too bad and I was able to skype my friend in Taiwan XD</p>

16

<p>The guest wufi is slow and that will be a problem when more students are on campus.</p>
