Wireless access changes

Please note that the UI-Wireless-WEP service is being retired for security reasons on June 30, 2008 and will no longer work to access the UI Wireless network. WEP should be replaced by the more secure and standards-based WPA2 security protocol. At this time, the University provides wireless access via dynamic-WEP for devices that cannot support WPA2. This service is deprecated, and it should only be used when a client cannot support WPA2.

The UI Wireless network is currently accessible using WPA2 (UI-Wireless-WPA2), which is supported by many modern wireless devices. Please see http://helpdesk.its.uiowa/edu/wireless for more information about the WEP retirement and UI Wireless configuration instructions using the UI-Wireless-WPA2 network.

If you have questions or need assistance, ask at the Information Commons East on the second floor, visit the ITS Wireless Support Center, call the ITS Help Desk at 319-384-HELP or email
its-wireless@uiowa.edu. ITS Help Desk’s telephone support is available Monday – Thursday: 8 AM – 10 PM, Friday: 8 AM – 5 PM, Saturday: 12 PM – 5 PM, and Sunday: 6 PM – 10 PM.

Hardin Library for the Health Sciences has a wireless zone that covers the public areas in the building and outside areas around the building to some extent.

Please remember that wireless capable laptops are available for checkout in the Information Commons East for three days at a time. Check with staff for availability.
