Access to eduroam and UniOfCam-Guest wireless (WiFi) networks
Wireless access is generally available in all areas of the building.
If you have a laptop that is WiFi enabled (802.11 a/b/g/n) and you have a University Account account you should be able to take advantage of this service. If you are unsure if your laptop is WiFi enabled, or have any questions about the wireless service please contact the Computer Office in S7 on the second floor.
There are two main wireless networks available for use in the Faculty, eduroam and UniOfCam-Guest. We would strongly advise using the eduroam service over UniOfCam-Guest (mainly due to the fact that once setup your computer manages the connection for you). Further details on the eduroam service can be found here. The UniOfCam-Guest network is mainly for people that don't have a University Account.
When using wireless facilities at LAW, and to get the most reliable connection, please make sure of the following:
- Your operating system is up to date, i.e. all the latest updates and patches are installed.
- Your Virus Scanning software is up to date. As a student of Cambridge University you are entitled to a free copy of McAfee Virus Scan, more information can be found on our Anti Virus Software page.
- Your laptop has a secure password. More information on creating a secure password can be found on our Passwords page.
How to gain access to the internet using the UniOfCam-Guest service.
This service is mainly for visitors that don't have a University Account. You can get instructions here, but please be aware, you'll need to confirm the connection within 10 minutes so you'll need to be able to access an email account to do this. If you don't confirm the connection within 10 minutes, you'll be disconnected,
If you are unsure of any of the above please come to the Computer Office where we will be happy to help you.
