Urgent UWM Wifi Maintenance

Urgent maintenance to the infrastructure supporting parts of the Wi-Fi networks at UW-Milwaukee needs to take place before the start of Fall semester to maintain the stability and security of the UWMWiFi service.

A 3-hour maintenance window has been defined for this Friday, August 25, starting at 6:00PM lasting until 9:00PM. This time was chosen to balance access disruption with the ability for all support staff necessary to be available for contingencies. During this window Network Engineering staff will complete physical tasks needed that should prepare legacy wireless controllers for stable connectivity through the start of the semester.

During this maintenance window the following buildings may experience Wi-Fi connectivity issues for UWMWiFi, eduroam, and UWMVisitor:

• Chemistry
• East Lake Tower
• Engineering & Mathematical Sciences
• Enderis Hall
• Engelmann Hall
• Garland Hall
• Grounds Building
• Greene Museum
• Hefter Conference Center
• Honors Building
• Klotsche Center and Pavilion
• Kenwood Integrated Research Center
• Kenilworth East Wing
• Lapham Hall
• Lubar Hall
• Mitchell Hall
• NWQ Building B
• NWQ Building E
• NWQ Building G
• Student Union
• University Services & Research Building
• Vogel Hall
• Zilber School of Public Health

Buildings not on this list should not be affected by this work. No other networks or services should be affected by this work.

If work cannot be fully completed during the initial period, a second maintenance window may be required, but this is not anticipated to be likely.
