Wireless cards labeled with "Wi-Fi" will usually work with our network. To take advantage of encryption, the card should support WPA and the ‘a’, ‘b’, or ‘g’ standard. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that all cards will work on our network.

Best - For the best performance, we recommend choosing a wireless card which supports the 802.11bg and 802.11a standards. These devices can achieve the highest performance, up to 54 Mb/s, and are best able to deal with radio interference.


Better - For better performance wireless cards that support the 802.11bg standard can achieve up to 54 Mb/s where 802.11g coverage is available.


Good - Wireless cards compatible with the 802.11b standard can operate at up to 11 Mb/s on our network.
