Fwd: Intermittent wifi problems

by Paul Elliott

Dear all, Please note the information below from IT Services regarding wifi problems with Eduroam and expected downtime later today. This will affect users within YNiC using Eduroam but will *not* affect the desktops, lab PCs or wired guest network connections. Thanks, Paul. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Intermittent wifi problems Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 09:37:52 +0100 From: Joanne Casey <joanne.casey(a)york.ac.uk> To: dcos <dcos-group(a)york.ac.uk>, dept & coll admins <dept-admins-group(a)york.ac.uk> Dear colleagues, Please circulate this information. We have become aware of a problem with the wireless network which is causing intermittent periods of downtime for up to a quarter of our wireless access points. Our monitoring systems pick this up, and the points are then gradually restored to working order. Clearly, we want to fix this problem as quickly as possible, and are liaising with the supplier. It's likely that we'll need to make some emergency changes later today which will cause a period of downtime for wifi. We'll let you know more as soon as we can, and will also post updates on Twitter (twitter.com/UoYITServices <http://twitter.com/UoYITServices>) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/UoYITServices <https://www.facebook.com/UoYITServices>).
