Update - We are continuing to monitor campus Wi-Fi performance closely during today’s peak usage period. We currently have over 13,000 devices successfully connected across the network.
While our monitoring tools show that the system's processing load is higher than we'd like due to the large volume of concurrent users, we are monitoring and planning future adjustments accordingly. The environment remains stable and we have not received any reported issues or help desk tickets this morning. Our team is actively managing the distribution of this data load across our infrastructure to ensure continued stability.
We will remain on high alert throughout the day and will provide further updates as needed.
