You can connect using any device that supports the 802.11b (11 Mbits/s) or 802.11g (54 Mbits/s) protocol. UCSF does not yet support the newer 802.11n (600 Mbits/s) protocol.
Students, faculty, and staff may connect to the wireless network. Unfortunately, wireless access is currently not available to campus guests. UCSF is working on a guest access solution, but this effort is not yet complete.
