Wireless accounts
If you bring your computer and it has a wireless connection, you can request a wireless account from UNL.This can be done ahead of the meeting.
Here is how to request wireless access:
You need to fill in forms on a few separate linked pages (rather than filling in a form on a single page).
The main page is at: wireless home page.
You will be asked to click an appropriate link to take you to: visitor wireless registration.
Again you are asked to go to a link and then the actual page you need in the end to get to is: visitor wireless end registration.
Within a few minutes of submitting the form you'll have 1 month of free access.
