Our agency offices, especially the Johnston Regional Education Center and Administration Center buildings, continue to host an increasing number of classes and meetings, and those events continue to grow larger in size. Those attending our events are often bringing multiple devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones with them. While we have very strong wireless networks in our buildings, they cannot handle an unlimited number of connections. In order to accommodate our guests and to help ensure that our staff has the access to what is needed to do their work, there are a couple strategies we’d like to encourage:
1) Limit the number of tabs you have open on your browsers. Because most websites update regularly, if someone has, for example, seven tabs open, in some respects it’s like having seven devices using bandwidth. If our guests are experiencing some slowdown, this is something you can ask them to do that might be helpful.
2) If it’s possible for you to plug in to the network at your desk, please do so regularly and turn off your wireless access. This will free up wireless bandwidth for our guests and for those who are meeting in our conference rooms. If you need assistance getting your computer plugged in to the network, contact Tuan Dao, Senior Network Administrator, or Tim Weets, Network Specialist.
