MOObileNet is the UC Davis wireless network. The network can be used by campus students, faculty and staff, as long as you have a UC Davis kerberos login (the thing you use for email and MyUCDavis). For more information (like how to set up your PC/Mac to use the network and how to connect), go to their website at ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
wireless.ucdavis.edu.
There are two wireless networks on campus - moobilenet and moobilnetx.
Moobilenetx uses secure WPA encryption so all of your data is sent in an encrypted connection. You should always use moobilenetx for your security!
Instructions for Windows Vista
Alternatively, to connect to the unsecured wireless network moobilenet:
Step 1: Choose moobilenet from available wireless networks.
Step 2: Open your web browser and login with your UC Davis LoginID and kerberos password.
Step 3: Start browsing the web!
Shields Library is not known to have adequate bandwidth for the hundreds of people in the vicinity that, during the day, simultaneously connect to MOObileNet.

2007-06-11 00:11:53 Anyone want to wardrive the campus to get a dynamic map of signal strengths. I've really had hit or miss luck in some places like the domes which this map claims to cover. —AlexMandel
2009-05-15 12:22:25 What kind of speed does MOObilenet provide? I know the campus computers are blazingly fast, but I would be surprised if even full 802.11g WiFi speeds were available on the wireless. I suspect that it's heavily throttled, but I've not seen evidence one way or the other for that. —RobertM525
