Wireless

When you are at Fermilab you may connect your laptop and other devices to one of the labwide wireless networks:

• guest
• eduroam
• fgz

Everyone may connect to the guest network but you must self-register. See the Guest Wireless Network FAQ; the registration form is linked from the FAQ. You will be able to connect to many, but not all, Mu2e resources via the guest network. You need to re-register weekly.

If you have an eduroam account from your home institution, you may choose the eduroam wireless network. You authenticate to eduroam following the instructions from your home institution. Eduroam will give you the same access as guest but it removes the need to register weekly. There is one anecdote of a large copy failing over eduroam but working over guest.

To have full access to all resources at Fermilab you must be authorized to connect to the fgz network. To get authorization for your machine see Getting Connected to the Fermilab Network. If your machine has more than one network interface you should register all of them; each is identified by its MAC address.

For anyone with Fermilab SSO, eduroam is the lowest impedance way to add your phone to the network. It's not likely your phone will need access to the services unavailable via eduroam.
