WHAT’S HAPPENING?
GTwireless will be turned off.
WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?
On Tuesday, August 14, 2012.
WHY IS IT HAPPENING?
The WEP security used by GTwireless is outdated and unsupported on some newer devices, is of limited security value, and does not operate at higher speeds.
WHO IS AFFECTED?
GTwireless users.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
GTwireless users should switch to GTwpa (http://www.lawn.gatech.edu/help/gtwpa/). For users with devices that are not WPA2 Enterprise capable or that require the device login feature, they should switch to GTother (http://www.lawn.gatech.edu/help/gtother/).
