[Read more…] about April Windows Server PatchingOn Friday, May 19th at 6:30AM, we will cease public broadcast of the EECS-PSK wireless network. The network will continue to exist and devices already configured to use it will be able to continue to do so throughout the Summer semester. However, it will not be available as a visible option to new devices which are not currently configured to connect to EECS-PSK. In other words, EECS-PSK will become a hidden SSID.
We recommend users of EECS-PSK immediately begin transitioning to either eduroam or Berkeley-IoT. eduroam is appropriate for devices such as laptops, desktops, phones and tablets; whereas Berkeley-IoT is appropriate for simpler devices which are not capable of authenticating to eduroam (i.e. devices which cannot perform 802.1X authentication).
Information about how to connect to eduroam and Berkeley-IoT is available at https://technology.berkeley.edu/wi-fi.
Please read the full post below for more information, including the final shutdown date for EECS-PSK. Contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions or concerns.
