During this maintenance window, there will be a temporary outage affecting the wireless network. Only a limited number of access points will reboot at any given time, so Wi-Fi coverage will remain available in most areas across campus.

Update - What is happening? IST is aware that some users on their home internet network are experiencing issues accessing the university’s Atlassian sites. 

The vendor has advised that it appears the issue is impacting those utilizing Rogers network infrastructure and these users need to contact their internet provider. 

What do I need to do? If you are experiencing issues, contact your internet service provider to request they review the Atlassian URLs (uwaterloo.atlassian.net) to confirm they have not put a firewall/AC rule in place that is blocking the service.

Users who have access to a Remote Desktop, can utilize this service to access Atlassian on the campus network.
