We are located across the courtyard from Covel and next to the ORL office. For conference guests, please refer to our Conference Guests page for more information regarding wireless network access and other services provided by the Student Technology Center UCLA Residential Wireless STC would like to give a brief overview of the wireless network in the residence halls. Within the residence halls, there are three wireless networks: UCLA_WIFI_RES: Open network available to registered computers.
UCLA_SECURE_RES: Secure network available to registered computers that requires WPA2 authentication.
UCLA_WEB_RES: Open network for web and secure web-only traffic available to non-registered computers (i.e. guests, visitors, etc). These 802.11n networks will be Wireless-N capable; N-capable wireless card will provide much faster speeds than we provided previously. All students and guests should also find a more reliable connection using the UCLA residential wireless networks. The following locations currently have wireless connectivity throughout the residence hall using UCLA_WIFI_RES, UCLA_SECURE_RES, & UCLA_WEB_RES: - De Neve A-F
- Dykstra Hall
- Hedrick Summit - Summer 2010
- Hitch Hall
- Rieber Hall - Summer 2010
- Rieber Terrace
- Rieber Vista
- Saxon Hall
- Sproul Hall
- Weyburn Terrace
All other buildings will only have these wireless networks in the Common/Floor Lounge Areas: - Canyon Point
- Courtside
- Delta Terrace
- Hedrick Hall
Please note if there is a personal wireless router in room, the implementation of these wireless networks may impact the ability to connect the wireless router as there will be increased signal interference. We recommend that, unless necessary, the personal wireless router is disabled and the residential wireless networks are used. February 2010 Watching TV on your Computer Beginning February 8th, the STC will be testing the ability to provide streaming TV content to student computers. This service is only being provided to the residents of Rieber Vista as a test. We have provided the following instructions on how to access this content using VLC Media Player. Due to the highly experimental nature of this service, we are only able to provide support for VLC Media Player. This has been tested in our offices on PC(XP/Vista/Windows7) and Mac OS X 10.5. Please be aware that we will discontinue this service should network performance degrade. This service will not work on a wireless connection. Plug in a cable and turn off the wireless adapter. Please contact our office if you experience any issues. We will be requesting feedback on this service in a few weeks.
