About Wireless Cards

Most 802.11b or 802.11g (NOT 802.11a) wireless cards will work on the Mills College network. However, please understand that signal strength can vary from card to card. Computing Services urges you to read reviews on individual cards prior to purchase to help ensure your satisfaction with wireless connectivity on campus.
