We are pleased to announce the completion of a major expansion of the Yeshiva University wireless network! Now all Manhattan residence halls have wireless network connectivity, which replaces the previous wired connectivity. We will continue to expand wireless coverage in the coming months to include academic and administrative buildings on the Manhattan campuses, as well as widely-used common areas between buildings.This wireless expansion also applies to the Resnick Campus (the new YUWireless and YUGuest networks are replacing Walnet).
Wireless Connection Standard
In order to equally support access for all users of the new YU Wireless systems ITS will be instituting a wireless connection standard. The standard number of connections to the YU Wireless per user is one (1). This means that a user can connect to the YU Wireless with one device at a time. A user may connect either their computer(laptop/desktop) or another device but not both at the same time. Other devices include cell phones, PDA, and gaming systems.
