How to Access the Wireless Network
1. Make Sure You Are Connected to "bscwlan"
If you're using a PC, hover your mouse over the wireless connectivity icon to confirm that bscwlan is detected (Figure 1). If you're using a Mac, click the wireless connectivity icon from the top menu bar to confirm that bscwlan is detected (Figure 2).
2. Login to the Web Authentication Page
Open your web browser application (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari), login to the Web Authentication page using your Buffalo State username and password, and click Submit.
3. Surf the Internet!
If you receive the Login Successful confirmation, you are connected and ready to begin surfing. You can close this box by clicking the X at the top of the window. Your connection will automatically timeout after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Note: If you have trouble connecting to the wireless, bring your laptop to the Application Support Desk or Computing Help Desk in E. H. Butler Library.
Security
Because wireless standards are still evolving, wireless networks are inherently less secure than wired networks. Therefore, Buffalo State cannot guarantee the privacy of your data and communications while using the campus wireless service.
Buffalo State recommends that users of the wireless service take all necessary precautions to secure their laptop devices and wireless Internet transmissions. You are strongly advised to use secure applications and connections such as SSH and HTTPS.
