Rolling Wi-Fi Outages, 5/18 – 6/7

by

Beginning Tuesday, May 18th, we will be performing wi-fi upgrades in all EECS network service areas (except BWRC and HMMB). Work will generally proceed floor-by-floor, with each building experiencing rolling wi-fi outages over a two to three day period. All wireless networks will be offline: EECS-Secure, EECS-PSK, AirBears2, eduroam, and CalVisitor.

Please see the schedule below for information specific to your building. If you are currently working on campus, and depend on the wireless network in these locations, please consider working from an alternate location during your building’s maintenance dates. We also recommend checking this post regularly in case of schedule changes.

EECS-PSK Scheduled Maintenance 5/7/21 8AM

by

This Friday, May 7th between 8 and 9AM, we will be performing scheduled maintenance of the EECS-PSK wireless network to prepare for our upcoming wi-fi refresh.

Update: This maintenance was completed without incident and the EECS-PSK network is back online. If you notice any issues, please email us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu.

Wi-Fi Outage, Cory and Sutardja Dai Halls

by

From around 6:15 this morning, all wi-fi networks are offline in the following locations:

  • Cory Hall 1F
  • Cory Hall 3F
  • Cory Hall 5F
  • Sutardja Dai Hall 2-7F
  • SDH NanoLab 5/6F

We have determined the root cause (a firmware bug) but are unable to resolve the issue remotely. We expect service to be restored later this morning.

Update: Service has been restored in all areas as of 10:45AM. Please email help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice any continuing issues.

SDH 1F Wi-Fi Outage

by

As of around 6:46 PM, Sutardja Dai first floor wi-fi is offline due to an apparent failed switch. Staff will be onsite tomorrow and we expect to restore service by the early afternoon.

Update 10/15 8:13AM: Thanks to an assist from one of our IST colleagues who was in the area, wi-fi service on SDH 1F has been restored earlier than expected. We will continue to monitor for stability.

IPv6 Coming to EECS Wi-Fi This Weekend (Feb. 15-16)

by

This weekend, 2/15 through 2/17, we will be enabling IPv6 on the EECS wireless networks. The current plan is to enable on EECS-PSK Saturday, EECS-Secure Sunday, and monitor on Monday. The EECSv6 test network will be abated later in the week and any test users should return to using EECS-Secure.

If your device is registered on the EECS network and has its IPv6 stack enabled, you will receive IPv6 connectivity without any further action needed.

We recommend everyone confirm that their wireless devices have an IPv6 firewall enabled to maintain the security of your machine.

Please email help@eecs.berkeley.edu with any questions or concerns about our IPv6 rollout.

EECS-Secure Authentication Certificate Updated

by

The certificate used by the EECS-Secure authentication servers (clearpass.eecs.berkeley.edu) has been updated. Wireless devices using EECS-Secure may prompt you to accept the updated certificate before you can reconnect to the network.

Updated certificate files and fingerprints have been published here in case you would like to verify the new certificates or install them on a device.
