On Tuesday, May 31, beginning at 9:30am, we plan to upgrade the wireless network controllers across campus. This will result in a rolling interruption of wireless service in different parts of the campus as the various components restart.  If you are using the wireless network on Tuesday, May 31, you will likely experience interruptions of wireless services of 15-30 minutes at some point during the day. We expect all wireless services will be back up and running normally by 3:00pm. The wired network service will be unaffected.

Please contact us at AskIT@amherst.edu, if you have any questions or concerns.
