The institute wireless network IITB-Wireless is now available in almost all common working areas in the department Classrooms  (118 149 228 230 235) Library Office Upcoming Computer lab (yet to be activated) UG lab (soon to be activated) Happy mobile computing and Independence from wires and localisation.  Please find instructions given in CC website to set it up.  We have tested it on mobile devices (Android iOS etc)  and laptops.  Anybody with IITB LDAP/GPO login can connect to it. If you have any visitors from outside IITB our faculty can create temporary LDAP IDs and therefore make the WiFi setup available to them as well. It is also installed in the UG lab but owing to some limitations we are unable to activate it now.  We will try to find a quick solution to this and to install in other areas.  Please let us know which other areas/labs you see more usage.   Though we had got it installed more than one month back there was an issue for long with some rogue DHCP server (don't bother if you don't understand what it is) confusing the wireless setup and not allowing users to connect correctly.  Please do not setup any DHCP servers in your labs/wifi-routers unless you are very sure it has been set up correctly. ‹ Our Students win ChEQ 2012 New Faculty Joined ›
