Update on WIFI issues with temporary fix in place

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 14:40:24 -0400

Thank you all for your patience as we worked on this issue today. The updates made last night didn't resolve the issue, but in working with Cisco we believe we have identified the problem, and have a temporary solution in place that will allow us to get through the rest of today without further issues.

We will be doing another upgrade tonight to hopefully resolve the bug, which appears to be a memory leak within a particular part of the system software related to establishing or refreshing wifi connections.

We will be taking WIFI down later this evening after classes have ended for approximately 10 minutes to upgrade to a version of software that addresses this issue.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, If you have any questions, or would like additional information, please feel free to contact me.
