To continue improvements in the Wi-Fi network on campus, more than 300 new Wi-Fi access points are being installed in multiple areas throughout the campus to extend and strengthen Wi-Fi signal and improve connectivity in targeted areas.
The addition of more access points — or network devices that bridge wired and wireless networks — began in December 2023 and will continue through January.
This investment for enhanced connectivity helps to ensure seamless access to online resources for efficient learning and extends Wi-Fi coverage to all key areas used by students including classrooms, lecture halls, libraries and study/collaboration spaces. Users should see improvements immediately as these access points are installed, and reports of improved speed and connectivity are already being received.
Students are encouraged to provide real-time feedback to support improvements to Wi-Fi connectivity. Look for a QR code on flyers, banners and small, square stickers posted around campus in targeted areas. Scanning the QR code will take you to a very brief survey where you can report connectivity issues in seconds. This feedback will help the university’s comprehensive effort to improve Wi-Fi connectivity for students and all users on campus.
