Message below is from ACNS:

Last week, two new wireless networks were sent across campus.

csu-eid: This is to replace csu-net and csu-net5.   Since most all wireless problems were due to misconfiguration or confusion over usernames, we developed csu-eid to address both issues – you use your eID as the username and we provide a configuration tool (Dead Link): http://xpressconnect.acns.colostate.edu/csu-eid

csu-guest: This is to replace the much loved (I’m joking there) “csu” wireless network that, as you may fondly recall, required a guest to have a username and password to get on the network.   The new csu-guest does not require that.  Note that it is slower and has some port restrictions.  Also, folks using “csu-guest” can only get to resources on campus that the rest of the Internet can get to.

Notes:

  • There are places on campus that don’t yet support csu-guest and csu-eid. They are the areas in red on the map: https://wsnet.colostate.edu/cwis24/csuwirelessmaps/csuwirelessmap.aspx   We’re working on those over the next few months.
  • What is going on with csu-net, csu-net5?   They will slowly be transitioned away over the next academic year.
  • If you have issues with wireless, the helpdesk is only a phone call (491-7276) or an e-mail (help@colostate.edu) away.
  • There is also a complete explanation and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list at: www.acns.colostate.edu/wireless
