WiFi at NECC
Our free network is accessible in all meeting rooms and public spaces at the WWCC except the conference exhibit hall floor. While network performance can fluctuate due to the number and location of concurrent users, we have worked hard to ensure a robust highspeed connection for your communication pleasure. We hope you'll feel free to blog, wiki, e-mail, and research to your heart's content! Our onsite network SSID is isteconnect; you can also stop by the Doctor Is In for assistance with configuration.
