Greetings,

CTS is continuing to upgrade network components throughout the campus. Beginning on Monday morning 7/21/2025, technicians will begin the replacement of Wi-Fi Access points throughout Van Housen and Van Housen Extension. Once completed, there will be network options for both SUNY_W@SP and SUNY_W@SP_6g. Please note, not all devices are equipped to connect to SUNY_W@SP_6g. Despite the Network SSID (name) being the same, some devices may require re-registration to rejoin the network. Instructions for the most common devices are as follows:

Windows Computers: You will need to delete the browser cache by opening the

browser and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+DELETE. Then the Wi-Fi will need to be turned

off and back on again in the Network Settings to find the new W@SP Wi-Fi network, complete web registration.

Mac Computers: Goto System Settings->Wi-Fi->Details->Forget Network then turn

off and on Wi-Fi and re-connect to W@SP, complete web registration.

iPhones, iPads: Instructions should be generally the same as “Mac Computers”

Other Cell Phones, tablets, and devices: process may vary; forget network, turn off Wi-Fi, clear browser cache, turn Wi-Fi back on, complete web registration.

If you are still experiencing a connection problem after the troubleshooting instructions above, please report the issue to the IT Service Desk at x4444 or email to itservicedesk@potsdam.edu.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation while we transition to the new network hardware.
