Public Wi-Fi has been provided across the NLC schools estate since August 2024 under the name of North Lanarkshire Public Wi-Fi. Over this time, we have encountered problems with the service due the large uptake from staff, pupils and members of the public. To do this we need to make a change to the name (SSID – Service Set Identifier) of the service to NLC Schools Public Wi-Fi.
There are 2 steps to this process:
1. Move all site based wireless access points over to a new group (Scheduled for Friday 2nd May 2025 at 1pm)
2. Rename the SSID (Scheduled for Friday 2nd May 2025 at 1pm)
When these changes are made there will be a short outage as each wireless access point restarts.
