The two remaining Houses will not have wireless capability until some time in the coming spring semester, said Coordinator of Residential Computing Kevin S. Davis ’98.
Davis said the installations in Lowell and Winthrop have been delayed by two technological “snags” HASCS has run into as they’ve continued the campus-wide wireless initiative.
Cisco Systems, the manufacturer of the wireless access points through which computers connect to the network, recently issued an updated operating system which HASCS must comply with, according to Davis.
Davis also said the delay is partly due to a restructuring of the network, including an expansion of its IP address range.
Davis stressed that wireless network access is a convenience and will not replace the College’s current wire-based Ethernet connections.
