According to an email from the Office of University Housing and Residential Life, residence halls are to have a wireless network by September 14th, available on the turesnet and turesnetextra wireless networks. It, like Temple’s main wireless network Wifi4Owls, allows wireless printing and access to Temple’s online resources.
It will be available in Johnson, Hardwick, White Hall, Temple Towers, 1940, 1300, Peabody and the Podiatry residence halls. For more information on how to access this network, visit Computer Service’s wireless page.
Prior to this, all residents in university housing had to connect their computers to Ethernet cables in their rooms, or use the Wifi4Owls network in study lounges and social lounges.
For more coverage, student opinions and a review of the network (will it overload? will Computer Services crash and burn? Or make it to the finish line?), visit temple-news.com on Wednesday, Sept. 14.
