Wireless Networks

The BSOE currenrtly operates two wireless networks.

• SOE-NAT (retiring system 6/30/10)
  This network is for use with older devices that do not support WPA authentication.  Connections on this network are not encrypted and anyone can listen to traffic on this network.
• SOE-WPA
  This network is for use with newer devices that do support WPA authentication.  Connections on this network are encrypted and it is very hard for anyone to listen to traffic on this network.

We strongly recommend you use the SOE-WPA network whenever possible.

Registration for the SOE-NAT network is by MAC address.  Once you have located your MAC address, proceed to the registration page to get started.

The SOE-WPA network is controlled by BSOE login names and passwords.  If you would like to access the SOE-WPA network, you need to make sure that you've reset your wireless password recently, and then you can log in following these instructions.  Guests who do not have a BSOE account can be registered by any faculty or staff member using the guest registration form.
