Wireless Access
Spot On Networks is Brooklyn Law School's secure wireless Internet provider. This network has been recently upgraded and Brooklyn Law School and Spot On Networks are pleased to be able make these improvements available to you. You can now elect from three different networks which vary in their speed, security and ease of use.
bls: This is the same network as before and is meant for use on all Windows and Mac laptops. If you can already connect to it, there is no need to re-configure your laptop. This service provides the most secure connection possible. This access no longer requires a web login. It provides connections that run about the speed of DSL. The setup is a custom configuration, and we prefer that you bring it to us to configure. This is required if you are a new first-year student. Otherwise, if choose to do it yourself, instructions are available
here.
bls-med: This network is meant for smaller devices like subminiature laptops and
handheld devices with browsers that support pop-up windows. As its name implies, this network provides medium speed and medium security. It uses WPA, a pre-shared key and also requires a web login. Setup instructions are published
here.
bls-low: This network is meant for consumer electronics such as iPhones, iPod Touches, wi-fi capable cell phones, DVR.s, and wireless-capable game boxes. It provides very little security, so it should only be used for non-private data. To use this network, you will need to bring your device to the IT Office for registration.
For assistance with setting up your connectivity for bls and bls-low, please bring your wireless device to the IT office on the 4th floor of the 1 Boerum building and we.ll get you set up while you wait.
