Disable HotSpot

At Piedmont University, we utilize a Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) to ensure secure and reliable Wi-Fi connectivity across campus. If you're experiencing connectivity issues, it may be due to personal hotspots or VPNs interfering with our network. Follow these simple steps to disable your hotspot on iOS and Android devices to restore seamless access to campus Wi-Fi.
