UCB Guest Wireless - Tips and Tricks

The wireless signal is weak (or nonexistent)

Know that, although UCB Guest Wireless is almost everywhere on campus, there are areas where the signal is not as strong or doesn't exist. Try moving to another area to see if you can pick up a signal or improve the signal's strength.

My connection is slow

If your connection is slow no matter where you are, try updating your wireless driver. It is highly recommended that everyone periodically check their wireless card vendor's website for driver updates. Download and install new drivers as instructed.
