What's changing? What do I need know?

For most of you, the changes to the network will happen behind the scenes and you will connect to the new network in much the same way as you do today. The new 黑料吃瓜网network will be rolled out using a phased approach.聽 This means that for a short period of time we will have two networks, our current network, "DAL-WPA2" and our new network. During the rollout, if you are in a building that has transitioned to the new network, you will connect to the new 黑料吃瓜网network. If you are in a building that has not yet transitioned to the new network, you will continue to connect to the current network 鈥淒AL-WPA2鈥�.聽
