Wireless Internet Spotty Around Midnight

Recently, Harvard students working late at night have been freed periodically from the distractions of the Internet—or hindered from lack thererof—and will continue to be until FAS IT can figure out the problem.

You may have noticed that nightly, around 11:50 p.m., Harvard's wireless Internet stops working for roughly 15-20 minutes. According to Noah S. Selsby '95, senior client technology advisor for FAS IT, this is not routine maintenance, and the IT department is working to determine the cause of the problem and fix it.

“Our technicians are working on the problem diligently and will be monitoring the situation tonight to further pinpoint the cause and hopefully find a solution as soon as possible,” Selsby said in an e-mailed statement.

Until then, you can take a well deserved brain break at 11:50 p.m.—or pull yourself away from Gmail long enough to get some work done.
