Connectivity

Throughput issues experienced since July 20 on UT's new wireless network have been resolved as of yesterday (July 28th) evening.  The community should now experience the full capacity of the 802.11n network on ut-open and ut-wpa2.

If users continue to experience connectivity issues please contact the OIT Help-Desk at (865) 974-9900

The map below shows the buildings on campus that have wireless coverage.
Note: This is an aproximation.

UTK has completed a massive wireless upgrade to bring the campus wireless network to a new level of coverage and performance. The new network will support 802.11b/g as before as well as 802.11a and 802.11n allowing for much higher speeds on the network! As part of this upgrade the old "nomad", "nomadx", and "utk" network SSIDs will be retired and replaced with new networks.

To report an outage with wireless please call the OIT Help Desk at (865) 974-9900. They will be able to debug any simple problems or create a trouble ticket for the wireless group to fix any problems!

At UTK we are excited to bring you new encrypted wireless networks to provide more secure connectivity with the new ut-wpa2 SSID.
