The Jacobs Hall network was unstable from approximately 11AM to 11:45AM due to a router malfunction. We restored service and will continue to monitor the router. Please email help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you continue to notice a problem.
IPv6 Coming to EECS Wi-Fi This Weekend (Feb. 15-16)
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
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.
Brief Network Border Interruption
Today between 1206 and 1212, EECS networks were isolated from the outside world due to an unanticipated routing protocol behavior during a reconfiguration related to our firewall replacement project. This has been corrected and there will be no further issues.
Scheduled Network Maintenance: Labor Day Weekend 8/31 – 9/2, 3-4AM
We will be performing firmware upgrades on the EECS core routers at 3AM on the mornings of Saturday 8/31, Sunday 9/1, and Monday 9/2 (Labor Day weekend). Each outage is expected to last under 20 minutes; however a full hour has been scheduled in case of unanticipated issues. Specific times and expected impact for each maintenance window is below.
These upgrades were completed successfully as of Monday 9/2 at 4AM.

Wireless Network Maintenance, 9/18/18 10PM
We will be performing an upgrade of our wireless controllers tonight at 10PM. Wireless networks will be unavailable for 15-30 minutes during the upgrade.
The software update intends to resolve some existing bugs which have been triggering unexpected controller reboots, occasionally causing network outages.
This maintenance will not affect BWRC, as that controller has already been updated. All other EECS Wi-Fi locations will be affected. (Soda, Cory, SDH, Jacobs, Blum, Calvin, HMMB BiD Center)
