+ | === Current Setup: === | ||
+ | * SSID: LansingMakersNetwork | ||
+ | * Password: Written on the wall in many places around the space | ||
+ | * The old SSID of LansingMakers2 still works, however it's using new hardware, this will be deprecated eventually. | ||
+ | There is also a LansingMakersGuest (currently this SSIS is not configured properly, so don't try and use it yet) | ||
+ | You'll notice there are three access points now, 1 on each floor. | ||
+ | 1. The one in the shop is located in the middle of the room. | ||
+ | 2. The on the main floor is located to the right of the stage area | ||
+ | 3. The one on the 3rd floor is located on the back wall near the electronic storage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you see any of these access points with the light showing anything other than a solid Green, it would be helpful if you can report that here as well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please do not plug in the old Linksys/Cisco access point, it is using the same SSID and will cause problems. | ||
