The are three wireless networks available in Lewis Hall:

This network uses 802.1x, offering several key advantages including security (network traffic is encrypted, and cannot easily be intercepted and read by others) , convenience (once you configure it, you will not have to log in to connect), and speed (it support 802.11N devices)
- W&L-Auth1: This network is available only through October 7th, 2009. It will allow you to connect to and configure W&L-Secure1
- W&L-Guest1: This is reserved for visitors to W&L. Printing and network file access are not possible through this network. You can use it, however, to connect to and configure W&L-Secure1
