Computing Service will be doing work today to improve the reliability and capacity of the Campus Wireless Networking System.  As part of that process the main wireless networking controller will need to be reconfigured.  This reconfiguration will require rebooting the controller at least once and potentially as many as three times today.  These reboots will result in an outage of all wireless networking service on our Campus for as much as 15 minutes in some areas as both controller and access points reboot.  Services should return to normal after the system stabilizes.  This will be the only announcement today so please remind others of the situation today.  If there are any questions or concerns please contact the Help Desk at 7741. Thanks for your patience as we work to complete our preparations for the beginning of the semester.
