If you’re a student at WashU, you’re likely familiar with the struggle of staying connected to one of the schools many Wi-Fi networks: from eduroam, to wustl-guest, to wustl-encrypted-2.0 and back again. Over the past year, WashU steadily made updates to its Wi-Fi in hopes that students and staff alike can have a more seamless Wi-Fi experience, but students still report some technical difficulties. 

STS and WUIT are working to address hardware and configuration issues in the University’s wifi infrastructure

Student Technology Services will be upgrading Wi-Fi in six residential halls over winter break. The move, in response to student complaints, is part of a long-term plan to bring the entire Danforth Campus up to wustl-2.0, the school’s fastest wireless Internet provider.

Washington University students living both on and off campus will experience changes to Internet access as a result of new changes put into effect by Washington University’s Information Services and Technology team. Included in the team’s fall semester upgrades is the addition of wireless Internet access in the school’s off-campus residential apartments.

Many students are still having difficulties accessing wireless Internet on campus, despite continued efforts by Student Technology Services to improve connectivity. At a Student Union Senate meeting Wednesday, students reported having difficulties with Wi-Fi in residence halls, Holmes Lounge, the DUC and the art and architecture schools.
