South Hill Apartments have known Wi-Fi coverage issues.

UI Housing is aware of Wi-Fi coverage issues on the 2nd floor of South Hill apartments. 

If you are experiencing weak coverage on the 2nd floor, we appreciate your understanding. 

If you are experiencing weak coverage on the first floor and have not already done so, open a ticket with the IT Service Desk.

Several housing spaces have known wired Internet speed limitations.

The OIT Network Team is aware of limited wired Internet speeds in select U of I housing locations. 

If you are in a room with wired network ports that are supported by hardware capped at 100 megabits per second, we appreciate your understanding. Neither wired or wireless connections are throttled in any way, they are only limited by the hardware. 

If you are experiencing an issue connecting to the Internet over wired ports or a wireless issue and have not already done so, open a ticket with the IT Service Desk.
