We're seeing well over 100 "rogue" wireless "service offering" devices (lots of wireless printers, for example) flooding the airwaves with "Here I am. Connect to me." transmissions. These broadcasts interrupt and compete directly with the legitimate "GusNet" wireless network... degrading GusNet performance - sometimes severely - for everyone in the surrounding area.
We ask that you check your area for wireless-capable devices, like printers, Internet "hotspot" features on phones or tablets, gaming devices, or other similar "service providing" devices that offer the ability to connect to the device directly via WiFi. Turn off these features if you know how. If you need assistance, contact your tech or the Gorilla Geeks Help Desk (geeks@pittstate.edu or Extension 4600).
Thank you for helping to keep the WiFi airwaves clear so GusNet can do it's job for our faculty, staff, and students.
