Instructional & Research Information Systems
Wireless network service
Between 12 and 1PM on Tuesday, December 27th, we will be performing maintenance on the Soda Hall root switch. All Soda Hall wired and wireless networks will experience interruptions during this time, except for most of 290 Soda, which will remain online. (Some Instructional systems in 290 will be affected)
Update 12/27 2PM: This maintenance was completed and all networks should be back online. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have questions or notice any issues.
At 7AM on Wed. January 4th, the EECS-Secure wireless network will be permanently retired. We recommend all wireless devices switch to using eduroam to prevent any interruptions when EECS-Secure is shut down.
If you are having trouble using eduroam, or cannot do something on eduroam that does work on EECS-Secure, please email us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu, or visit our Helpdesk in person at 395 Cory Hall.
For additional information about EECS-Secure retirement and the overall wi-fi roadmap, please see our previous announcement from April.
At 9PM on Saturday, September 24, we will be performing additional software updates on the EECS-Secure authentication server. EECS-Secure will be unavailable between 9PM and midnight on Saturday; all other wireless networks will continue to operate normally.

[Read more…] about EECS-Secure Maintenance, 9/21 9PMBetween 9PM Friday 9/2 and 7AM Sat 9/3, the wireless networks for all EECS buildings (except Calvin) will be migrated to a new set of campus wireless controllers, with the aim of reducing overall load on the campus wireless networks. During this time, there will be some interruptions to wireless networks in Soda, Cory, Sutardja Dai, Jacobs, Blum, HMMB, and BWRC.
Additional work on the wireless networks is planned throughout the weekend, but that work is not expected to be disruptive.

Please visit our helpdesk in 395 Cory Hall next week during business hours if you experience any new issues with the wi-fi networks after this maintenance.
At 6AM on Thursday, July 14th, we will be performing emergency maintenance in order to address recent network instability. Soda and Cory Hall wired and wireless networks will experience interruptions during this time, and we expect all connectivity will be restored by 7AM. IDSG services in 290 Soda (such as file service) will not be interrupted, but Instructional services in 290 will be interrupted.
BWRC will also be isolated from Campus and the Internet for a period during this maintenance.
Some systems or services such as nfs mounts may need to be restarted after this maintenance. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions.
Update 7/14: This maintenance has been completed. Wired networks have been restored, and wireless networks are coming back online.
At 6AM on Wednesday, July 13th, we will be performing emergency maintenance in order to address recent network instability. Sutardja Dai wired and wireless networks will experience interruptions during this time, and we expect all connectivity will be restored by 7AM.
Some systems or services such as nfs mounts may need to be restarted after this maintenance. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions.
Update 7/13 6:28AM: This maintenance has been completed and most connectivity has been restored. Wi-fi networks in some areas are still coming back online, but we anticipate all connectivity will be restored by start of business.
At 6AM on Thursday, June 9th, we will be migrating BWRC networks to the new border firewall. BWRC’s connectivity to EECS, Campus, and the Internet will be briefly disrupted at this time. This will affect all wired and EECS wireless networks at BWRC.
We encourage system administrators to test their systems on Thursday morning after this maintenance is complete, to ensure their applications and services are being properly handled by the new firewall.
Please contact the BWRC Sysadmins or help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions.
Update 6/6: Due to a conflict with other work being performed at BWRC, this maintenance has been moved from Tuesday 6/7 to Thursday 6/9. The original post has been edited accordingly.
Update 6/9: This maintenance has been completed. Please contact BWRC Sysadmins or help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice issues with the new firewall.
There was an unplanned outage to the EECS network this morning from 9:32 until approximately 9:46 this morning due to a router crash. The outage primarily affected Soda and Jacobs Halls as well as BWRC; but there was also some lesser effect in other locations. This was unrelated to the planned maintenance which occurred earlier this morning.
Network service has been restored, and we are investigating the cause of the crash. Please email help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice any ongoing issues.
Between 5 and 7AM on Thursday, May 19th, we will be performing firmware upgrades on various Sutardja Dai and Blum Hall network hardware. Wired networks in SDH will be unavailable for approximately 15 minutes beginning at 5:00AM. Wireless networks in both buildings will experience a number of interruptions throughout the two hour period. We expect all connectivity will be restored by 7AM.
We recommend system administrators check their systems on Monday morning after 7AM to verify they are working as expected. Some systems or services, such as nfs mounts, may need to be restarted.
This maintenance is complete as of 6:20AM. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions or notice any lingering issues.
