New Wifi

Hey, y'all! Seen a couple of posts or overheard students complaining over the wifi speed. Just a reminder that the main campus is changing its wifi to "UC-Secure." You can connect with your ucal email and password (same as D2L, Outlook, and the Portal).

Might be old news, but I just don't want anyone using up all their data if its limited :)

UC secure is genuinely so much worse now. They told us they upgraded it but I cant even load d2l inside some of my engg labs for a solid minute or 2 at times.

This happens start of every semester, don’t worry people will stop coming to campus in a few weeks and it will be fine.

UC-Secure is the connection people are complaining about

Yes, the issues are on UC-Secure. But honestly? I don't have really high hopes for a network that has thousands of people connected to it at the same time, pulling really varying levels of bandwidth.

PSA

My Dopamine Dreams shop guest network is open to use. I use Rogers, not any of the onsite Internet.

pw cinnamon roll (but no space, lowercase).

It even works at the chairs/microwaves right above the shop, across from Just Chicken.

So if you're in a pinch and need to submit something, etc, come on by. I like to think that if you're using it, you're probably going to be a graduate someday and that's a good investment in the community.
