Common use of WIRELESS Clause in Contracts

WIRELESS. All residence buildings contain pervasive IST provided Wi-Fi. Residents are NOT permitted to set up a device in their room that broadcasts a Wi-Fi signal as it conflicts with IST Wi-Fi and causes poor or no Wi-Fi connections to other residents in that building. Examples of devices that have the ability to broadcast a Wi-Fi signal are: Wi-Fi routers, wireless printers, mobile phone (when the hotspot feature is turned on), Shaw cable modem, MTS modem, etc. You are permitted to subscribe to Shaw and MTS for an Internet connection, but you must turn off the Wi-Fi feature of the modem/router. You may need to install a router in your suite to use a device like an Xbox, but you must turn off the Wi-Fi feature of your router. If you plug in a router improperly it can cause network issues that result in a loss of Internet access to others in the same building. Please contact the Residence Support Desk for assistance in setting up routers. Any resident found to have a device broadcasting a Wi-Fi will be subject to disciplinary actions. For information on disciplinary actions see Section 4.3 Please note that IST is a central IT department and is not a residence department.
