Troubleshooting
In the event that you are unable to connect to wireless or use an SVSUSecure or SVSUMediaGaming, try the following tips:
- Check that your wireless is enabled and airplane mode is disabled.
- Try turning off wireless, then turn it back on. This will help the device reset and refresh the list of networks it may see (especially when moving between locations on campus).
- Forgetting a wireless network, or disconnecting then reconnecting, can help clear up issues with connectivity.
- Limit the use of high-bandwidth apps and the number of devices. Keep in mind that wireless is a shared resource. When people stream high-definition movies or download large files, the amount of bandwidth consumption is high which greatly diminishes wireless performance.
- In housing, it may be beneficial to connect only the devices necessary during their required time of use (e.g. turn off wireless printers or TVs when not in use).
File Storage
- We recommend taking advantage of the Office 365 cloud storage, OneDrive.
- To access OneDrive go to www.svsu.edu, choose Quicklinks, then OneDrive.
- When in computer labs, use the online version of the software so you can save it directly to your OneDrive. If you must download or use a desktop version of the software, make sure you upload the file to your OneDrive before logging out of the computer as any locally saved documents are erased from lab computers.
