Folks,
Wichita State has quietly installed one of the most advanced WiFi technologies of any arena in the country (shout out to Ulterius Technologies). It is actually so bleeding edge that they have not advertised it, because the system still may need to "tuned" and they may have to work some potential bugs out.
Here is where you, my fellow Shockernetters, come in: They want you to try it out so they can collect data on performance and problem spots!
When you get to the game on Sunday:
1) On your mobile phone, turn your WiFi on.
2) When it pops up with a list of available networks, select: KochArena_Wi5iG
3) Open your phone's browser and go to shockernet.net
4) Instead of Shockernet, it will go to a landing page with a login button -- click that.
From that point on you should be able to have extremely fast internet access.
For example,
1) You should be able to listen to Mike Kennedy's radio broadcast via WiFi:
- Surf to it from here: http://goshockers.com/showcase?Live=2420 [someone correct me if this link is incorrect])
- Or use tunein or iheartradio
2) If you have a cable service (or Hulu Live TV) that let's you log into CBS Sports Network, you should be able to watch the game on there while you are in the stadium! Can you say "replay"?
- You can see CBS Sports live here: https://www.cbssports.com/live/
3) Wanting to keep your eye on another game on WatchESPN? If you have a WatchESPN login and associated cable service (or Hulu Live TV, or Playstation Vue, or Sling TV), you can watch it!
4) Or pull up Netflix to watch Hoosiers during the early timeouts!
Keep in mind:
1) This is considered a beta test at this point, so your connectivity and the result you get could vary from "awesome" to "didn't work at all".
2) If you connect to ANY network OTHER than KochArena_Wi5iG, you are NOT connected to the high speed internet connection and the result you get has NOTHING to do with this cutting edge WiFi access that I am describing. So don't waste your time trying to connect to any other network thinking it's all the same thing -- it's not.
PLEASE report back here with your results. If you have issues with it, report back in this thread. Can't connect? Let them know here. Speeds too slow? Let them know here. Worked fantastic? Let them know that too!
Also, feel free to share a link to this post on Facebook if you want to share the "how to" with your friends on Facebook.
