General Information
The University of North Texas Computing and Information Technology
Center is pleased to bring you Eaglenet, the wireless network at
UNT. Eaglenet is now available in most buildings on the Denton Campus
and in almost all areas of the Research Park. Eaglenet supports the
wireless IEEE 802.11b standard that allows you to connect your wireless
network equipped laptop or other device to the network without cumbersome
cables or wires at speeds up to 11Mbps (your actual speed and system
throughput will vary depending on your location in a building,
the number of other people using the network, and the type of equipment
you are using.)
Quick Start Guide
For those users that have used wireless before at another location
and currently have their equipment configured for wireless operation
, simply set the SSID to eaglenet and turn off WEP encryption. This
should permit you to connect to Eaglenet from your device. Some
operating systems will automatically detect the Eaglenet wireless
network and offer to connect to it, with others you may need to
scan to find the available networks then select the one you want
to connect to. Once you've connected to the wireless network, when
you open a web browser to go to a web site, you will be asked to
login with your EUID and password. When you complete the login,
you can surf the web. If you have difficulty in connecting to Eaglenet,
refer to the other selections listed above. - Back
