Help with school wireless internet

I am able to get an excellent signal from my school's wireless, but when I try to connect, I get a limited connectivity. I am able to use my home's wireless fine. I've disable some services, I might have disabled one that affects wireless, but then why'd would I be able to use my home's wireless and not school. Could it have something to do with the school internet being unsecured?

 

It is likely only fixable with access to the router. A different channel could solve the problem if it is due to interference, beyond that I would say that it's not a good router.

 

you probably need a network access control such as cisco clean access to log in and verify your system is up to date to access network resources. check with your school's website from a diff computer or call the it dept for what you need

 

My school requires you to register your MAC ID to use their wireless. Also, maybe you just have a weak signal strength?

 

Yeah... just go see with the technician of your school man!

 

Or google, I go to UCI and searched for UCI Wireless and got connected through one of those links.

 

You should go see the school technicians....back in my school the problem would have been because the use of proxy....you got have access to the network.

 

With my school you need to register your student id with them and login when you access wireless, many are similar. Probably something along those lines, but like everyone has said go ask tech support, I am sure its something simple and you will be like oh, of course. i hate that..

 

Agree with the other members suggestions. Go and see your school tech support. Most of the time their pretty incompetent, but in the area of wireless, they're pretty good because they get asked about all the time.

 

Talk about it IT here can't even figure out when num lock is on or off...

 

thanks for the advice. I went to my school site and registered my MAC, not sure if it will work cause UCI housing community don't have wireless.

 

Some enterprise wireless networks also require some sort of software client, basically a VPN. I believe it's possible to do this with a Cisco network to ensure that only authorized systems gain access.

 

Ok, I guess i'm not following you here. You can get a wireless signal from the school, but cannot connect. But here you say that "UCI housing community" doesn't have wireless? Are these different things? Did you register the MAC of your wireless or wired network card?

I've got to say that your best bet here is to contact the school's technicians.
