Mobile Devices. Clemson’s wireless infrastructure is capable of supporting WPS2-enterprise capable 802.11a/g/n devices. There is no scalable way to support mobile devices that do not support this standard.
Ethernet Connections:
Although our wireless network is robust, the nature of wireless networking makes for a less stable connection than wired networking. For this reason, we recommend that you use a wired network connection if available when you are in your residence hall room, classroom, or office. Additionally, activities such as audio/video streaming and large file transfers are bandwidth intensive — attempting them on the wireless network could likely cause poor performance, as well as adversely impacting the wireless connections of other users sharing the access point.
