Count=494
Percent=100%
| Count | Percent | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.20% | ||
| 1 | 0.20% | In classrooms | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Outside the Sierra Center Manzanita Hall | |
| 1 | 0.20% | A faster connection enhancement would be nice | |
| 1 | 0.20% | A few of the study rooms in library are hard to access the wireless signal from. Also a few of the apartments right by the G3 Parking Lot are unable to receive access at times. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Access should be available everywhere on campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Access should be upgraded throughout the library and expanded to all eating sections on campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Access to the internet on campus should be faster. Most teachers use it to teach and it is difficult and annoying when the loading process takes up half of the class period. As long as students parked in any given campus parking lot can access the internet then it is fine. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Access outside of buildings its not very good in the quad area | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All areas | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All around better coverage, especially in the dorms. I'm not in them this year, but I remember that the service was a joke last year | |
| 2 | 0.40% | All around campus | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All around campus. the network is always weak and often disconnects even while completing this survey. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All around our beautiful campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All classrooms, all buildings, all inside and outside sitting spaces including near restaurants and coffee spots. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All floors of the library building. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All floors of the library primarily. On the 3rd and 4th and even the 2nd floor of the Oviatt Library there is never any wireless signal to be picked up, at least not by PCs. Arbor Grill and the cafeteria around the Matador bookstore could use better signal too. Ideally all around campus wireless would be great. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | all Northridge | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All over campus it should be available not limited, period. Without limited labs for use it helps when a student can access the web on their own computer devices. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All over campus! | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All over campus, sometimes the signal is too low... | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All over campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All over campus. The signal strength throughout the entire university has weakened significantly over the semesters, and speed often slows to a crawl even during the low-use hours. I've been all over campus, from Sierra Hall and the Sierra Center to the Library to the Games Room and the Pub to the Engineering Building. I have had decreased strength and speeds, with every semester getting worse than the last. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All over campus. The wireless access signals need to be stronger. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | All throughout the campus. with this new system, the access is so slow. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Arbor Grill and Sierra Center | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Arbor Grill seating area | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Around by the Black House and better service in the dorms. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Around eating areas, near parking lots | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Around edges of campus so it will extend further | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Around the dorm areas because it's hard to get connections inside the dorms. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Around the outskirts of campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Art building... | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Art department / Art buildings — wireless signal is barely accessible there! | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Art department because many design students have laptops and require the internet to do most of their work. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Aside from Central regions (surrounding the library), it should be expanded where there is a greater proportion of students and not a great allowance of wireless access. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | ||
| 1 | 0.20% | Associated students labs need to be expanded. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | At every location on campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | At the dorms and near by neighborhood | |
| 1 | 0.20% | At the USU, at Sierra Market, etc. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | At the Village Apartments and in surrounding "hotspots" that students visit. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Basically everywhere . . . in open areas, by Sierra Hall, Plaza del Sol area | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Better connection in the library | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Bookstore and USU | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Bookstore area | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Bookstore complex and Manzanita Hall area needs to be upgraded as well as the outer edges of the campus | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Bookstore, Sierra Center | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Building 4 of the dorms | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Business Building Juniper Hall | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Business building, library | |
| 1 | 0.20% | By the bookstore | |
| 1 | 0.20% | By the Sierra Center/Sierra Hall | |
| 1 | 0.20% | By the Sierra Hall building and the Music Department | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Campuswide | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Campuswide | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Campuswide. There's no reason why students, faculty and staff should have any issues with on-campus wireless access anywhere on the CSUN campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Citrus Hall. Dr.Crowhurst's lab has no signal at all. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Classes and some open areas. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Classrooms and eating locations | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Classrooms in Juniper Hall and the lawns outside the Oviatt Library and bookstore | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Classrooms such as in the CTVA building. hard to get the network working in some of the rooms | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Classrooms, art building | |
| 1 | 0.20% | classrooms, public areas | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Classrooms. It is sometimes difficult to connect inside a classroom, at least in Juniper Hall. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Coffee shop (Jerome ritchfield) and area west and south have very weak signals. Maybe the building is impeding wireless traffic? | |
| 1 | 0.20% | College of Engineering and Computer Science, library. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | COMS department area, library. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Connection is slow everywhere, so an overall upgrade, business and MZ buliding | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Connection slows down on user-intensive locations like library. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | CSUN dorms | |
| 1 | 0.20% |
|
|
| 1 | 0.20% | CSUN is a geographically small campus. Everywhere should be covered, but specifically I would like to see increased signal within Santa Susana Hall. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | CY Hall, second floor | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Cypress Hall | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Definitely outside the Sierra Center where the yellow umbrellas are (next to Jerome Richfield too). Plus the yellow umbrellas around the Sierra Center (where they serve food), does not have properly working electric outlets to plug laptops in. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Dorming Wi-FI has been bad for me, as well as in some of my classes. Like inside my Astronomy class. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Dorms | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Dorms | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Dorms and Arbor Grill | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Dorms and extensions of the campus such as the Pan African Studies Black House. Also maybe access to CSUN students even if they are off campus by having us log in to access the wireless. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Dorms, Arbor Grill | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Dorms, because if your computer isn't working then you have to go to the Student Union and there are waitlists because there aren't enough working computers. | |
| 1 | 0.40% | Dorms, classrooms, and outside areas... | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Dorms, library, Sierra Center | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Education Building | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Education Building and eating areas | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Education Building and food courts | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Engineering Building | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Engineering courtyard/auditorium, but mainly, the new wireless network, when available, is very slow. This needs to be addressed. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Equal coverage all over the CSUN campus | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Eucalypts Hall, 2nd floor | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Every part of CSUN | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere on campus!!! | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere is good | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere around campus | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere around campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere on campus, it seems as though there are always some types of struggles getting it | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere on campus. stronger signals in the library and the marketplace | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere on campus. stronger signals in the library, and the marketplace | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere possible | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere possible | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere! | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere! The wireless capabilities of the CSUN network are simply inadequate. Anywhere that one tries to connect, the connection is iffy at best. It's a real inconvenience when working online. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | EVERYWHERE! WIRELESS IS TOOOO SLOW! | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere, especially Sierra Hall. I only have class there on the second floor, but the connection jumps from high to low way too often. Whenever a professor is doing a presentation using a laptop, they usually have problems loading whatever they want to show as well. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere, even in the parking lot | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere | |
| 1 | 0.20% | EVERYWHERE. Inside of every building and everywhere outside of the buildings | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere. Some classrooms get horrible signals, and even my professors have had trouble teaching when using visuals from online because sometimes they won't load or are really slow. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere. The wireless goes down too often and doesn't work everywhere. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Everywhere. Wireless needs to be campuswide, from grassy areas to parking lots and everything in between. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Expand to the perimeters of the campus, and make signal stronger all over | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Expanded past the area of the dorms on Zelzah and south of Lassen so that student apartments across the street can access it as well | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Expanded to the art and communications building, to the parking structures and to the quad | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Faster access and more signal strength throughout campus. mainly in buildings or food locations. Manzanita Hall as well. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Faster in the dorms | |
| 1 | 0.20% | First would be security. the only time I used CSUN's wireless, I got a virus! | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Food court next to Sierra Hall | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Food places. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Fourth floor in the library, Outside areas (back) by Manzanita Hall, Arbor Grill and Plaza del Sol | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Fourth floor of Oviatt Library | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Fourth floor of the library and Sierra Hall | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Front lawn of Bayramian Hall in between Jerome Richfield | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Fully throughout the campus and in local restaurants or hangouts within a mile radius of campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Generally that would be all around campus. Mostly in areas far away from the major wireless connection, like around the music recital hall, Manzanita and so forth. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Health Science Building | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I am not sure which area but I know that sometimes people complain and from above the only thing really concerning me is that one. I still believe this campus quality fee is USELESS and UNNECESSARY | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I as a freshman live off campus on the corner of Plummer and Zelzah. If it could be expanded a little further then the dorms, to where people live off site, that would help! | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I believe CSUN wireless should expand outside of campus.For example a few extra feet outside of campus for those who live down the street and decide to drive to school just to use the computers.Also the computer lab hours are horrible especially in the USU. I believe the hours should be longer and not just on finals, midterms as well. It is weird that a lot of students procrastinate but hey we are all human. We still need the resource no matter what the time because we all have other issues and problems we're going through. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I believe it should be upgraded in all buildings. I have noticed that in the Sierra Hall there is hardly ever any reception. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I believe that it should be upgraded in mainly the lecture halls and areas where one AP is used for a cluster of 4-5 different classrooms. It seems like with the new log-in system every time I move across campus and turn my laptop back on it takes me 5-10 minutes to reconnect to the new AP, whereas before with the old systems it only took me a matter of seconds for the laptop to kick in and connect. Also, in places like lecture halls and such there seems to be a lot of dropped connections simply because of how overloaded each AP gets from so many users on one. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I believe that it should be upgraded or expanded at the USU. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | i bring laptop so i say do a quick test to make sure all classes have access to the hotspot | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I cannot get access in the multilevel parking garage next to Sierra Hall. I do a lot of studying there. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I cannot say. I do not have a laptop, but this just seems to be a far more appropriate way to use funds than websites or campus maps. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I can't get a signal in the Arbor Grill near the business building as well as many locations inside the business building. It is also hard to get a wireless signal outside of Sierra Hall near the food area. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I don't always get wireless access around the USU. When I'm in the quad area, i go in and out of range. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I don't know the scope of the area, but since this is an option that means you have the capacity to expand the coverage | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I don't like that you have to log into the server every time you use it and that your computer can't save your information for quick log-in. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I don't particularly need it; I just think the other options are stupid. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I don't use a laptop, but I don't think money should be spent on iCSUN, and there is already a campus map on the website. Between the Help Desk and expanding wireless, I think wireless is more important. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I don't use wireless access in school, but there were times when I went to the Matador Bookstore and the internet was down. It was terribly disappointing. Internet access overall should be improved, not just wireless. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I feel that the wireless access should be upgraded in the dorms. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I guess upgraded as in range of the existing Wi-Fi, the signal is there, it's just really weak. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I have a mobile device that can access the internet. I think such devices should be able to access CSUN webmail. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I have been experiencing trouble connecting to the wireless all over campus since the security page has been added. In the Sierra cafeteria, in classrooms in Sequoia, Sierra Hall and Manzanita hHall. There has been inconsistency, one minute I can't access it and the next it is working just fine. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I have difficulty connecting in classrooms in Sierra Hall. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I have had the experience that if five people are online in the same place it is very slow, and frustrating. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I have never had a problem with wireless access at CSUN. Thanks for the hard work. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I have not had a problem with access to wireless. I am an Art major, and I am able to log in around the art complex. I think that access should be available through out the campus, with most populated areas having priority (cafes, gathering places). | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I have the most trouble getting online outside near the Sierra Center and by the grill! | |
| 1 | 0.20% | i have trouble getting access to the internet through CSUN in Jacaranda Hall. I connect to CSUN successfully but then it takes a while to get access to the log-in page. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I just think the portal should be easier to open anywhere. Sometimes it will not open. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I know that on occasion the CSUN wireless access will not allow for connection for an entire day, so it should be upgraded to let students prepare if for some reason the system will be down. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I live in the dorms and often times have issues connecting to the internet. I'm not sure if this is the fault of too many people, or not enough signal. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I never really have trouble but it seems a lot more important to expand wireless for students than to make wallpaper for them. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I see a lot of people sitting in Freudian Sip and the pub, etc. (the drink/food places) trying to access the wireless, but often have problems to connect. Also, in Sequoia Hall can be a problem. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I thinik it should range, if it doesn't already, to all the parking lots as well outside the dorm buildings. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I think that signal strength should be improved everywhere because of the growing number of people using wireless on campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I think that upgrades should be done in the dorms so that it doesn't crash. When it goes down in the dorms, everyone is in the computer labs and it is hard to get work done and printed out; therefore, I think that the computer labs should be expanded. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I think the fee should be used to allow FREE PRINTING AT COMPUTER LABS!!!!!!!! | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I think the wireless access should be upgraded and fixed in the dorms. It really sucks when you have a paper due and the wireless has limited or no connectivity. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I think wireless access should be upgraded so it won't take as long to get information needed. I think access to computers is fair on campus but like you could put more places that are accessible. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I think wireless access should cover all the school area, so any student anywhere in the school building or near by may obtain wireless access. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I usually do work around JR building and sometimes the wireless internet is really slow or it takes a few minutes for it to load. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I would like it to be extended in classrooms because in some classrooms the signal is very weak and it makes it hard to access the internet in classrooms. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I would want the fastest connection speed available in more areas rather than wireless access in new areas. I receive access almost 100% of the time anyways when I'm on campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | If I'm on campus, I should have access to wireless internet at all places on campus | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In all areas of the cafeteria. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In and out of all classrooms and in the library | |
| 1 | 0.20% | ||
| 1 | 0.20% | In areas like the bookstore, where currently, wireless access is difficult to obtain | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In buildings, by the bookstore, all around the school perimeter | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In classrooms or outside | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In classrooms | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In common "hang out" areas such as the Sierra Center, and over by the student union, many people still find it difficult to get a wireless connection. These are all areas where students like to spend a lot of time with their laptops, and this is why they should take top priority in terms of efforts for improvement over anywhere else. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In every building | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In every campus building | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In half of the buildings I go to, it is sometimes hard to pick up a signal. I have trouble in the Sierra Hall, Education Building, Redwood Hall and around the larger grass areas around campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In most of the buildings | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In Sierra Hall. It's hard to access the internet in every classrrom. Also, I'd like to see more outlets for students to be able to plug in their laptops . . . especially in the Sierra Center, Freudian Sip. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the area on the second floor of Sierra Hall by Room 290 | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the business building | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the classrooms | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the classrooms | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the classrooms.. I use my laptop in the classroom and it is super slow and sometimes I can't even access the web from it. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the classrooms; it seems that access should be available more often where students tend to be. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the dorm areas and in the dorm buildings themselves | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the library and near the bookstore. the signal strength is very low there, so the internet is very slow. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the library in certain floors the connection is terrible, for example, the third and fourth floor by the (big) windows. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the library study group room, the wireless access is weak. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the library.... | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the middle levels of the library floors | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the nearby neighborhoods, | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the parking garage. Improve access, it's becoming very hard to log on. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the quad, right by JR and Sierra Tower | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the Sol Center and the | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the twin tower buildings | |
| 1 | 0.20% | In the university student union, and in the second floor of the Sierra Center | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Including surrounding neighborhoods | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Increase signal strength to reach passed the parking lots in all directions since a lot of students tend to sit in their cars and study and do homework while waiting for their classes. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Inside classrooms | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Inside the classrooms. There are some places inside a classroom where wireless access is not available depending upon where a person is sitting. Another thing is that many students want to plug in their laptops, but there are only a few electrical outlets inside the classrooms. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It gets overloaded quite easily and seems quite sluggish during the day. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It is difficult to get wireless internet in the Sierra Hall building. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It needs to be faster from inside buildings. Last year I had little trouble, but this year, with the new log-in system, it takes me several minutes to get initial access. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should be accessible all over campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should be available everywhere. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should be expanded across the whole campus, the reliability of wireless access is necessary for the improvement of academic excellence of CSUN students. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should be expanded at least to cover a one-mile radius. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should be expanded in the classrooms. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should be fixed in an internal level first. I sometimes experience problems accessing the wireless service inside the library. After the internal problems are resolved, it should be expanded to the dorms and nearby apartments. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | it should be in every building of the campus but only to those that are students at CSUN. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should be upgraded and expanded for the apartment complexes near the campus such as Meridian Pointe, where I live, so I could save money, and since I'm a freshman, money is my highest priority | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should be upgraded and expanded to the entire campus. I cannot access the internet in most parts of Manzanita Hall, specifically the 3rd floor and Room 122. It is fair to all students that wireless internet be provided throughout the entire campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should be upgraded and expanded to the parking lots. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should be upgraded to avoid problems like the ones at the beginning of this semester (fall '08) when a stable wireless connection was nearly impossible for some days. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It should work within a 5-mil radius around the campus, including the parking structures. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It shuld be upgraded in the bookstore area, as well as near the Freudian Sip in between Sierra Hall and Jerome Richfield hall | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It will help the students | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It would be nice to have Wi-Fi in parking lots as many people work in their cars while waiting for their classes to start. Also to improve reception in public student places such as the benches outside the bookstore complex as the Wi-Fi signal is very weak. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It's a little slow. Moreover, the connection's dropped sometimes. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | It's not the location that is the problem — it's the fact that the internet is too slow. We pay high sums, but get only wireless B connections, which is pretty sad and slow. Wireless G should be a hackneyed connection by now. We need more bandwidth and less security measures that restrict initial connection. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | I've been living in the University Village Apartments for two years now and there have been plenty of days where I have not had access to the CSUN wireless connections. We are suffering over here. We have families and cannot drag our kids to campus to use the computers there. We also don't have computer labs here either so we MUST HAVE WIRELESS CONNECTION IN THE UNIVERSITY VILLAGE APARTMENTS. THANK YOU! | |

| 1 | 0.20% | The University Village Apartments (UVA) has students and faculty members that have no current connection with CSUN's internet wireless system. Many of us have children and cannot afford to pay internet service. It would help us financially and academically by giving us access to the internet as many of us take online courses. The dorms have access to the internet considering that we are adjacent to the dorms on Lassen and Zelzah no wireless internet access is available. Please help resolve this problem. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The USU could benefit from wireless access, but I am more concerned with the recent restrictions placed on wireless access. Mainly the restriction of access to off-campus systems. The new wireless access system is preventing access to off-campus services such as SSH, FTP. These come with security issues but are an extremely important part of the fabric of the internet. That being said the current bandwidth restriction on the wireless network is a pointless and unnecessary restriction that only reduces the quality of campus life. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The Village Apartments on Zelzah and Lassen | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The whole campus | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The Wi-Fi access should cover the whole university. Students are always trying to find a comfortable spot to do the work. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The wireless access coverage is great! It's the system that seems to be poor. It often cuts out for long periods of time, it occasionally logs you off the network, and it is rather slow (especially after beginning the "must log in with CSUN ID and password" system). | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The wireless access should be of course in the library and also food court areas. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The wireless connection here is horrible — it's really slow and takes forever for the sign-in page to come up. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The wireless connection is extremely awful at the Sierra Center, the Arbor Grill, and the Manzanita building. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The wireless connection is not fully accessible in the library. Please make sure that the connections are strong in all of the grad/study rooms. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The wireless networks at the library and the CSUN dorms. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | The wireless should extend all the way to Plummer and across reaching the track and field. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There are already computers in the CSUN library, but there are not really any computers on any other floor but the fiirst floor. Perhaps some computers could be put on the second or third floor as well. Also, maybe the computers in Bayramian Hall can be upgraded to have internet access as well. That way, one might not have go over to the library just to use the internet. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There are areas on campus that you cannot get internet, like in Bayramian Hall and in Sequoia Hall. I only know of places where I have class or where I go to on campus. But overall the internet on campus needs to be improved. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There are certain parts of the library where access is limited, and also near the business building there is a low signal | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There are dead spots even within the library. That needs to be fixed. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There are some dead zones, but I don't know where they are right off hand. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There needs be a reliable means of accessing the internet from every classroom. There are substantial dead zones in the theatre building which inherently affects my performance in this class. I specifically need internet access in this course for the research and development portion of television commercial making. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There needs to be better internet service in the Oviatt Library and Sierra Hall. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There should be access at all buildings on campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There should be more wireless access in the science halls such as Live Oak, Eucalyptus, Magnolia. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There should be more wireless strength in lecture halls and upgraded speed for gaming use while in between classes | |
| 1 | 0.20% | There should be wireless access through the complete campus, including all buildings, all quads, all fields and all parking lots. CSUN may even want to expand the wireless to hit the apartment buildings around the campus to allow students living in those apartments (I'm not one of them) to access the network. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | This may not be practical, but it would be great to be able to access the internet from the parking structures. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | This should be EVERYWHERE ON CAMPUS!! Certain areas of Sierra Hall have bad reception, and open space campus area should be considered also! | |

| 1 | 0.20% | Throughout the entire classrooms. Make the networks penetrate the walls inside of all the buildings. Students should not have to be outside just to get a good wireless signal. Also upgrade the network to allow A/B/N/G networks. | |

| 1 | 0.20% | Upgraded in Manzanita Hall. We have been having problems accessing the wireless. When we can access the internet, it is usually in and out of service. Also when I'm outside Manzanita Hall sitting on the grass near the library, I don't get service whatsoever. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Upper floors of buildings results in visibly slower access. Faster general access. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | We should get fast wireless access at the Starbucks near Acapulco on Reseda 'cause a lot of students are there on breaks | |

| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access between Jerome Richfield Hall and Sierra Hall. Cafeteria should be upgraded. Wireless access should be expanded to all over the campus. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access in the library is often slow and unavailable in certain areas. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access is great in the libraries and would also be great if it were upgraded where students get lunch around campus and socialize. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access is very poor from the Art Department area and right off campus near Roscoe, where many students' study sessions are held in restaurants and coffee houses. To have wireless access expanded in these directions would be great. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be accessible in every building on campus, including the food markets | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be expanded everywhere around CSUN, and I think it should be upgraded as well; especially around the dorms. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be expanded to all areas of the school and possibly for the parking structures. They should be upgraded so that the connections are quicker. Also, electric outlets should be installed in more places, such as places where there are seating and tables. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be made faster and should be able to be accessed everywhere on campus | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be readily available anywhere on campus. Students should not struggle to gain access to the web anywhere they should find themselves at CSUN. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be upgraded and expanded in areas far from the library, so as much students can be online and the network won't get slower. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be upgraded and expanded in Juniper Hall. The computers in the labs are too slow. Computer lab hours should also be expanded to 10 p.m. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be upgraded and expanded in the eating areas and/or all computer labs, specifically the computer lab in Sierra Hall because the computers are extremely slow. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be upgraded and expanded in the Oviatt Library and the food court at Sierra Center. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be upgraded at Sierra Hall food court, plus the third and fourth floor of the library. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be upgraded in the dorm building number 6, the lounge areas and the library. Sometimes there is difficulty connecting to the wireless network as I have experienced. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | ||
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be upgraded in the dorms and the area by the library. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be upgraded in the Education Buildings as well as Jerome Richfield. At those locations, the log-on capabilities are very weak. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless access should be upgraded to the fastest possible data rate and expanded to all parts of the campus where students can study and meet. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless internet should be accessible throughout the entire university, at the dorms, and at least a 30-mile radius surrounding the university. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless here at CSUN can be a pain when I'm trying to access it on the third floor of Sierra Hall. I would definitely like it to be easier to access. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless is TERRIBLE at the bookstore complex. I have never been able to get wireless there . . . and considering there was just a bunch of money spend putting in TVs and a second-story seating area, internet is needed to make it a decent place on campus. I like it there, but with no internet, I can't go. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless must be upgraded to at least Draft-N standards as to allow highest performance and greatest coverage for the dollar. Access should be upgraded in the Marketplace, with higher through-puts and bandwidth to allow for growth as more and more students begin to bring their laptops to school. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless needs to be upgraded in Music buildings and by Sierra Tower out in the benches with trees and gravel | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless network access are slow in high-traffic areas due to high use. Also, any wireless network has high latency and DNS lookup. Furthermore, please bring back an online way to permanently (or at least for one semester or year) register a wireless device. Leave the current wireless login for onetime uses, but also have an option to "remember" a wireless device by redirecting to a signup page as stated above. A fine example of this sort of setup can be found at UCSD. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless should be accessible to students that live close to campus, within their apartments. Specifically the ones from Plummer down to Dearborn that run down Darby. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless should be available in every building in every classroom. Manzanita Hall and Sierra Hall | |
| 1 | 0.20% | Wireless should be expanded/upgraded throughout the entire campus whereby signal strength is not an issue regardless of where you are. Thank you. | |
| 1 | 0.20% | With the changes made to the network over the summer, the wireless performance has degraded considerably. In many classrooms in the Business building, the connection to the wireless and the performance has been terrible. I think there should be a proper site survey to best provide wireless access to students. |
