Campus wireless will be unavailable 7-7:30 a.m. on July 2

July 1, 2014

A message from Wake Forest University Information Systems

On Wednesday, July 2, Information Systems will perform required maintenance to the wireless network. The wired network will not be affected.

What will happen?

From 7 to 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 2, the wireless network will be unavailable.

What will I see?

At 7:30 a.m. the wireless network will be available after maintenance.

Once maintenance is completed, faculty, staff and students will see a pop-up regarding trusting the certificate when connecting to the wireless network. There is no security risk when this pop-up appears and you may accept the certificate to continue. The pop-up you see will be dependent on the operating system you are using. Click on the help.wfu.edu page to view the possible pop-ups.

Visitors to Wake Forest University (non WFU faculty, staff, students) will need new visitor wireless accounts to access the wireless network. After the maintenance is complete, a sponsor for the visitor can visit the sponsor portal to create a new visitor wireless account. Any accounts created prior to this time will cease to function on July 2 at 7 a.m.

How can I get help? 

Contact the Information Systems Service Desk at help.wfu.edu or 336-758-HELP (4357).
