Ateneo de Davao - A WiFi University

Ateneo de Davao University may be the only WiFi University in Mindanao.  Last October 2007, the university installed several WiFi hotspots within its college campus in Jacinto Street, Davao City.

I’m one of those many students who were glad about this project.  We’ve been paying a lot of bucks for our internet fees, yet, we were not able to fully utilized it.  One should first make a reservation before a student can access the internet which can only be done at the 4th floor of the university library.  But now, anyone with wifi capable device, can access the internet in almost any place in the campus.

But then, there has been rumors that the university is trying to find a way of limiting the students’ internet usage.  My teacher said that they (university officials) are now on the process of making the wifi hot spots work similar to Globe Wiz wherein a user must use his own account to enter the network.

The wifi zones that I was able to explore are the following:

There might be more which I have not yet discovered.  Please leave a comment if you know some.

A new spot arises in Ateneo de Davao

I was doing some stuff in our office when my friend approached me. He asked if I was aware of the new router that was installed in the ground floor of our Thibault Hall. I said, I didn’t hear that a new hotspot was installed in that area.

I immediately checked the location to see what my friend was talking about. His statement proved to be true. Installed on top of the post fronting the Thibault Hall is the new LinkSys router.

By the looks of it, the router seems to be working. The LEDs are blinking. Earlier today, I was able to detect a network with an SSID of ‘default’ from our ECE Laboratory. I’m not sure if the signal I got is coming from the router in the Thibault hall. Our ECE Laboratory is three floors above the location of the router.

It’s nice that our school administrators took the initiative of providing WiFi access for students who stay at the Gazebo, which is just across the Thibault Hall. Students can now search the web without having the need to go to the library for internet access.

How about making a research about George Lindemann for your political science class. WiFi access can make a student’s life easier indeed.

Ateneo de Davao University - ECE Laboratory

We were having classes when I discovered this network. I never thought that someone from the faculty placed a wireless router in their office. Though this WiFi network was not publicized, there has been rumors before that the Engineering Division of AdDU will be putting a wireless network within the ECE Laboratories. Engineering students may now compete with those WiFi hungry CS students.
