Weird Wireless Bridging in Chung Ling High School

Few weeks ago, I somehow found a wireless connection from my class with SSID “25″. Last time I did check before is there’s any Wifi from my class but I found nothing until few weeks ago, I found this “25″. I know my school is Wifi-ed, I saw a lot of wireless router hanging on the ceiling of different blocks but can’t connect into most of them.

I only know the the open Wifi network in my school is at the Canteen, Form 6 Block and School Hall. This “25″ is new and I manage to get onto the Internet with my iPod touch during classes few weeks ago but it’s not working right now. The “25″ is still showing on my list but the Internet connection doesn’t work already.

I tried login into their router homepage to check out the Internet connection status. They didn’t really change their default username and password so it’s pretty easy to guess, it’s either “admin” or “password”.

First I managed to login into this at, I check out their wireless status and Internet status, it’s all up but the in router SSID is showing “Art Room” instead of “25″ which I read from my iPod. One thing very weird is the Art Room is so far away from my classroom, so I assume the wireless connection is bridged from there.

Then the connection disconnected and the IP changed. Something is wrong with either the school wireless network or my iPod’s connection. I login into another router homepage at 192.168.1.1 and I got a Linksys router homepage. The same thing, everything shows the Internet is up but then the SSID is different again, it’s “Server Room”. I got no idea where the school’s Server Room is but the connection just keep jumping around. From Art Room to Server Room and once I got Resource Room which is just down the corridor of floor.

They should fix their wireless connection already. With all the set up ready, but a weird bridging wireless network, it’s still not a fully Wifi school yet, there’s still a lot of blind spot. However, I believe there’s still school with no Wifi network. =)
