Wireless Access
How do I use my laptop or other wireless device?
Elmhurst Public Library is 802.11a and 802.11bcompatible.
There are three WAPs which cover most of the building. In some cases it may be necessary to move to a different location for optimum reception.
- You will need: a laptop computer, wireless Network Interface Card (NIC) and a laptop configured to use the library’s Internet connection.
- Set your wireless device’s software using the following configuration:
- Mode: Infrastructure (the connection method)
- SSID: ElmLib (the name of the wireless network is case sensitive)
- WEP: disabled (disables Wired Equivalent Privacy)
- IP or network settings: DHCP enabled or obtain IP address automatically.
Printing:
You cannot print to an Elmhurst Public Library printer from a laptop.
Security:
WiFi (wireless access) poses the same risks to your personal information
as other Internet connections.
Please Note: Library staff cannot provide technical support if you are using your own device. Please refer to your owner’s manual or other support services offered by your device manufacturer.
