Why 4 Networks?
- WRDSB Wireless is our legacy network that will be mainly used for provisioning devices and very basic Internet activity. It will remain open, but limited in resources
- WRDSB Signup is used for registration of devices, guest access & unsupported devices
- WRDSB Secure is fully encrypted and used for all staff, students, and shared devices that have registered their devices and installed certificates
- WRDSB Staff and Students is a new network that will be deployed across all sites over the next few years, replacing WRDSB Signup and WRDSB Secure
