New wireless network for UH?

Apparently. You might have skipped over this e-mail message from Bill Ashley at IT:

The University of Houston’s wireless network, Tsunami, will be retired on Tuesday, January 2, 2007.

The UHWireless network, which provides UH with greater security and enhanced services, has been operational for the past six months and will continue to provide wireless access for the campus.

Once you’ve selected the UHWireless network, launching a browser will automatically bring up a login window to access the network using your CougarNet username and password.

Visitors to the campus will be able to log in to access Web pages using the new Guest account. The username is UHGuest and the password is UHGuest (case sensitive.)

Go to http://www.uh.edu/uhwireless for information on UHWireless and instructions on how to connect to the network.

From what I can see, it's not up and running at the law center yet. At least, UHWireless is not among the wireless networks that show up on my adapter. I still see only Tsunami. Be aware that not all things run smoothly during a transition, even when the transition is allegedly complete already.

If you come back from break and you can't connect to the Internet, the switch to a new network is the likely culprit. If there's a problem, check your wireless utility (in the lower right hand corner) and make sure you've switched over to the new network.
