U of T Wireless (new network connection)

The old UTORwin wireless network connection will continue, but alongside it users can now see the UofT wireless network connection.

This new connection supports a, b, g, and "n" ranges. It should work better at longer distances because it has "n", and UTORwin does not.

It requires that the user logs in only once. So it is very convenient compared to UTORwin where a user must login in everytime. This benefits handheld users a lot. However it is not recommended for anyone that "shares" their device with others. (not good for multiple UTORid logins)

For a period of time users will have to use the UTORid "verify" procedure before connecting for the first time. They only have to validate once, but hopefully this will be changed soon so no one ever has to do it.
