Whitman's wi-fi network is available throughout the campus You can connect to the wireless Internet when you are working in the library, the campus center, Ankeny field, or any academic buildings, and more. (Technical note: Whitman's wireless network broadcasts a Wireless-B (802.11b) signal which any Wireless-G (802.11g), Wireless-N (802.11n) or higher card can receivesupports WiFi3, WiFi4, WiFi5 or higher. Especially for Windows computers, it's worth confirming before buying that the computer's wifi capabilities support these B, G, or N or higher protocols.)
But...
It's always possible to encounter wi-fi interruptions in particular places/occasions. If this happens, it can be inconvenient or intrusive to your learning. Technology Services is doing everything it possibly can to ensure these interruptions to wi-fi don't happen, but just in case, we recommend you bring an ethernet cable (and an ethernet adapter if necessary) so you can use our wired network. (See "How much of the campus is wired?" below.)
