There are several open access wireless networks at SLAC:

• "Visitor" is available at most locations around SLAC campus. Just a very simple registration at first use with no approval needed will let you connect.
• "Eduroam" is also available at many locations on SLAC campus. This would require the Eduroam certificate which most visitors already have from their own home institutions. In particular, all CERN users have a readily avaiable CERN certificate option. Since the Eduroam network was installed more recently, it may have stronger signals and more bandwidth at places they are available.
• "Stanford Visitor" is acceisible from the Guest House rooms that is adminstrated by Stanford. Access speed is limited to 5 Mb/s.
