ASUwifi does NOT support Smart devices: these devices are discoverable by all devices on ASUwifi network,  attempt to communicate to all devices on the network, which usually results in much slower network for all users.

WARNING:

Do not connect to the ASUguest wi-fi ever as a student. Only connect to the ASUwifi. If you do try to connect to both networks this is what happens:

• When a device connects to both wifis, it will automatically switch to whichever signal is stronger at that moment. This means one connection may work for an arbitrary amount of time and when someone walks between them and the access point, it may switch to the other network interrupting their connection at that time. Switching networks makes whatever network your device is trying to use really slow.

• The guest wifi has bandwidth limiters to give our own ASU wifi priority. This means if users are trying to use guest wifi, they WILL experience slower download rates. 

• Our network is designed to block devices connecting to the guest wifi that have already logged into the ASU wifi before. This means if students have been connected to the ASU wifi, and the device switches over to the guest wifi, they won't receive any connections until they switch back to ASU wifi. 

• If you are having issues with wi-fi connections and you are connected to both the ASUwifi and the Guestwifi please go and "forget network" for the Guestwifi in your settings.

Forget Network Instruction:

1. Select the Start menu in the taskbar

2. Open Settings

3. Select Network & internet from the left menu

4. Select WiFi

5. Select Manage known networks

6. Click Forget next to the network you want to remove

If this does not help your wi-fi issues please reach out to computing services.
