We are planning to migrate the WiFi in the Medical School (Cookson / Leech / Henry Wellcome) on Monday 23rd March from 7pm onwards.

NOTE: In line with an agreement between the University and the NHS Trust, the new University WiFi access points within the Dental School and Medical School will be configured to support wireless services ONLY on the newer 5GHz radio band (802.11a/n). Support for the older 2.4GHz radio band (802.11b/g/n) will be DISABLED in these areas.

Modern WiFi-enabled devices typically support both radio bands/standards, and should continue to operate as normal. However users of any devices supporting only the older 2.4GHz radio band will not be able to connect in these buildings.

Users should refer to their device documentation to establish if this limitation affects their device.

The IT Service would welcome feedback (positive or negative) on the user experience following implementation of the new WiFi service in Dental and Medical Schools.
