5) Right-click "Wi-Fi" again and choose Enable. Check to see if the problem has been resolved. If not proceed to the next step for additional troubleshooting.

TIP: If you connect to TTU Res Halls Wi-Fi in one location and then move locations, your device may attempt to maintain its connection with the wireless access point at the previous location. This can result in a slow connection or the appearance that there is no connection at all. To resolve the problem, simply disable Wi-Fi on your device and enable it again using the steps above. This will cause your device to re-establish a Wi-Fi connection using the closest access point.
