There will be an upcoming network maintenance for the university’s wireless systems on Thursday, December 18th, starting at 5:30 pm and lasting until 7:30 pm. During this time, there may be periods where new connection attempts to ATU-Wireless fail. This maintenance will allow Network Services to update the security certificates used on the wireless system. After the maintenance, some device types may require you to manually re-associate to ATU-Wireless due to the security certificate change. Based on certificate changes in previous years:
- Android devices may reconnect to ATU-Wireless with no issues.
- Apple devices may prompt to accept the new certificate, and it may take several connection attempts to ATU-Wireless to get the prompt to appear. After accepting the new certificate, Apple devices will be able to connect to ATU-Wireless again.
- Windows devices may not automatically reconnect. If they do not, open the wireless view in the taskbar as if you were going to try to connect to a new wireless network. Find ATU-Wireless and choose Connect. It will ask if you expect to see ATU-Wireless and this location and if you’d like to verify the certificate. Viewing the certificate is optional. You can click connect again, and the device should successfully connect.
