EECS Networks were unstable from 1AM to 7:44AM due to an apparent issue on the 4th floor of Soda Hall. The 4th floor has been isolated in order to stabilize the wider network, and we are now assessing the situation in that area.

Announcing Retirement of the EECS-PSK Wireless Network
EECS-PSK Broadcast Ceases May 19th
On 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.

Between 12 and 4PM on Thursday, December 29th, we will be replacing the access switches which serve the second floor of Cory Hall. During this time, there will be significant disruptions to the wired and wireless networks on the second floor, the second floor mezzanine, and possibly also the Cory Hall roof.
Update 12/29 16:30: This maintenance is complete. Please email help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice any network issues.
Soda Hall and BWRC Network Maintenance, 12/28 11AM-4PM
Between 11AM and 4PM on Wednesday, December 28th, we will be performing maintenance on the Soda Hall core router. Most Soda Hall wired networks will not be affected by this maintenance due to redundant links. However, Soda Hall and BWRC wi-fi, as well as BWRC’s uplink to the outside world, will experience a number of interruptions during this time.
Update 12/28 15:15: This work has been completed and all networks are online. Please email help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice any issues.
Soda Hall Network Maintenance, 12/27 12-1PM
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.
EECS-Secure Wi-Fi Shutting Down, January 4th
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.
