Wi-Fi or Network Problem

If you experience poor or no network service please report it here.

Common issues to report include:

  • Wi‑Fi not connecting

  • Frequent disconnects/inability to stay connected

  • Very slow internet speeds

  • Weak or inconsistent signal in certain areas

  • Network drops during calls, meetings, or uploads

Please note we cannot troubleshoot an issue without the following information:
* Exact Location you experienced the problem
* The time you experienced the problem
* The wireless network you were connected to (i.e. Geneseo Guest, SUNY Geneseo, GPlay)
* The username used to login to the wireless network

Other extremely useful information to troubleshooting is ip address, Ethernet address, hardware type, and operating system.

Also note that it is very difficult to impossible to troubleshoot intermittent wireless network issues after the fact.

About Wireless at Geneseo

SUNY Geneseo uses an enterprise-grade Cisco Meraki wireless network. Most modern devices work with eduroam

Older 802.11b devices will not. Personal access points or printers are not allowed, as they interfere with the network.

Personal wireless access points and wireless printers disrupt the campus network and are prohibited.

Available Wireless Networks

  • Eduroam – Secure, preferred, works worldwide.
  • Geneseo Guest – Unencrypted, for guests; traffic can be intercepted.

  • gPlay – For gaming consoles and streaming devices that can’t join Eduroam.
