Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does wireless access cover the entire building?
Not necessarily. Wireless networks operate in a manner similar to cellular telephone service in that you may occasionally find dead spots in covered areas. Electronic interference or physical signal blockers such as large metal appliances or steel building infrastructure usually cause these. As demand for wireless connectivity grows, the SFCollege wireless network will be expanded to provide better coverage for existing locations.
Are wireless networks secure?
Users should consider wireless networks insecure and use computer applications that provide their own protection. We recommend you use encryption tools such as SSH, SFTP, or SSL. We do offer students, faculty and staff access to a WPA2-Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access) network that is protected to ensure security of district applications and data.
