TTSD Guest Wireless
Best practices, tips, and troubleshooting for connecting to the TTSD Guest WiFi Network At TTSD, we offer a guest wireless network for staff and guests to use with their personal devices. To connect to the TTSD Guest Wifi, on your device, find TTSD-Guest in the list of available wireless networks There is an acceptance screen (hotel page) on which you will need to the click the ACCEPT button before your device will work. It typically pops up automatically, but you may need to open a browser (Safari, Chrome, etc) and navigate to a website to get the page to appear. Note: You will have to click on this Accept button the first time you access the guest wireless network each day, but you should not have to again until the next morning. Tap on Accept Tips and Tricks 1. Problems getting to the acceptance screen? Try closing your browser completely, or rebooting your computer. Still having problems? Open a web browser and type in "10.101.101.10" or "wlc-03.ttsd.k12.or.us" in the address bar. If on a cell phone you may need to turn off your "mobile data" for this to work. 2. On newer Apple iPhones, we've experienced better connectivity if you set TTSD-Guest to "Auto-Join" . To do this, in Settings > Wifi > Tap the blue "i" next to TTSD-Guest Slide "Auto-join" to the "ON" position. This will reconnect your phone to TTSD-Guest after your phone has fallen asleep. You will still need to Accept the hotel page occasionally 3. Another setting on the iPhone, we find helpful is to change your Auto Lock setting to 5 to 10 minutes. Settings > Display & Brightness> Adjust the Auto-Lock setting to somewhere between 5 & 10 minutes. 4. Lastly, turn on Wifi Calling. To do this on an iPhone, Open Settings > Cellular > Wi-Fi Calling > Slide to "on" position Technical Information - Timeouts Guest Wireless Filter: The guest wireless network is filtered at the Elementary Student level. System Timeout Values: Sleeping Client Time-out - set at 12 hours - Clients with guest access that have had successful web authentication are allowed to sleep and wake up without having to go through another authentication process through the login page.

Troubleshoot Dropped Wireless Network on Mac Computers
Best Practices Please verify that it is indeed a wireless drop - how does the wireless icon behave? (no signal / exclamation point). Often time people will say "wireless drop" when they've just lost connection to a service but not the wireless network itself. Record the date & time and location when the wireless drop occurs. Is anyone else in the near area experiencing issues? (Students / close staff)? Has any change occurred recently with the device having the problem (system update? back from repair, etc)? Reboot your computer Verify that the closest Access Point (AP) in the classroom or area is powered on with a solid blue light. If it's not a solid blue light there is a problem with the closest Access Point. The access point should either be located on the ceiling near the center of the classroom, or up high on the wall or ceiling near a network port. If the AP is off or blinking or not blue, please enter a ticket so that the issue can be investigated. Remove all peripherals connecting to the laptop, especially ones that connect to the mini-display port Move closer to your home wireless AP to force your computer to connect to the wireless AP in your classroom Remove and reconnect to the TTSD network Make sure the TTSD network is the WiFi top choice Reset all network connections (https://www.lifewire.com/reset-network-settings-on-mac-5184072) - This step must be done by a technician Use a different user account (like the Test account) Run the hardware diagnostic test (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202731) Update the computer to the latest available operating system It is possible it is the wireless card, we will send your computer in for repair if we reach this step
