To connect to the Bakersfield College Wireless Network (BC-Student) you will need a computer or handheld device with a Wi-Fi certified IEE 802.11g or 802.11b wireless network connection.
Assuming you are connecting with a computer running Windows XP, the following instructions will show you how to connect:
You need to be in an area covered by the BC Wireless Network - these areas include:- The Library - Upstairs only - Partial coverage by reference area.
- Campus Center - Executive Board Room, Fireside Room and Collins Conference Center.
Unlike the wired network, current wireless technology does not provide dedicated bandwidth for each computer. Wireless networks therefore do not currently provide the same level of performance or consistency as a wired network. While wireless networking has been found to be acceptable for email, many applications and some web browsing, it may not be suitable for applications and web sites that have high bandwidth requirements, such as video/audio streaming or large file transfers.
