All Hohenheimer dormitories are connected to our network through a central hub.
Until now, this hub was located at Schwerzstrasse 2.
The building is undergoing renovation and will be without power for a while.
The plan was to relocate the hub to the newly renovated Schwerzstrasse 3.
Unfortunately, the connection between the buildings was so poor that we had to move the hub to Schwerzstrasse 1, which delayed the internet interruption accordingly. We planned for 10 minutes, but it took 3 hours.
During operation, we found that the connection there works, but is also too poor for continuous use.
Therefore, we will replace the connections again at around 12 p.m. today.
To keep the interruption short, we will send two teams. We expect the interruption to last less than an hour, ideally just a few minutes.
Update 4:50pm: Thanks to qualified feedback, an unexpected new problem that occurred during the repair of the fiber optic problem was identified and fixed around 4:30 pm. I’ll quote the translated message and thank you on behalf of the Netz-AK.
Hi, we know you’re working hard to switch over to Schwerzstraße. Since we haven’t heard anything new about the switch attempt at 12:00 since this morning’s blog post, we wanted to let you know (in case it hasn’t already been done) that if everything is back to normal, our flat still has problems. Greetings
Nevertheless, we also understand messages that explain to us that the internet is important for studying.
The fiber optic problem was traced to the edge of our network and optimized soon.
