How to connect to the NCEAS wireless network
From NCEAS Knowledge Base
TIPS FOR USING WIRELESS SERVICES AT NCEAS
Configure your laptop to use the wireless service with a network name or SSID of “nceas". There are several other wireless signals that can be accessed in the Balboa Building, but "nceas" is the only one supported by NCEAS, and its traffic is encrypted.
To use the Wifi, you need to configure a WPA key. Several common names for our setup are:
WPA WPA Personal WPA PSK WPA PSK TKIP WPA Pre-Shared Key
A copy of the wireless key can be found in both conference rooms on CDs posted on the wall near the doors, and in Room 314.
