Wireless Networking Software Maintenance: 27th – 30th December 2025



What is being done?
We are applying a new software update to wireless network access points across the university.

When is it being done?
Between 02:00 and 04:00 over four consecutive nights starting on the 27th of December and concluding on the 30th of December 2025.

Who will be affected?
All users using the university’s wireless networks (CU-PSK, CU-Wireless, Eduroam and Govroam), including students in university managed halls of residence where the wired ethernet service network will also be affected. Estates staff responsible for management and monitoring of BEMS across the university.

How will this affect service users?
During the change window, wireless access points will reboot. There will be a break in the wireless network service at each location of up to 10 minutes once, during the four-day change window. Students in university managed halls of residence may experience wired and wireless disruptions when the access points within their rooms are rebooted. BEMS devices will experience the same loss of service.

Why is it being done?
This configuration change is essential to ensure the access points have the latest version of the firmware software.
