A critical hardware component is failing in a substantial number of the University’s wireless access points (APs). With the rate of failure increasing, Information Technology Services (ITS) is proactively replacing all affected units ahead of the fall semester.

This project will involve every campus building and is scheduled to take place from Monday, July 7 through Friday, August 20, with work occurring Monday through Saturday.

During the replacement process, users may experience a brief interruption in wireless service—typically lasting 10 to 15 minutes—in areas without overlapping access
