Notez bien que si vous utilisez les 2 connections sans-fil "HEC Montreal" ET "Eduroam" il pourrait survenir un conflit entre les 2 réseaux.
En effet, Windows semble systématiquement abandonner la connexion sans-fil avec le dernier SSID connu et essayer le suivant (ex. : de «HEC Montreal» à «Eduroam»), ce qui génère d’autres délais très longs dus à des changements d’adresses IP avant que le sans-fil finisse éventuellement par devenir disponible (après plusieurs minutes).

You can also visit our eduroam section for more information and useful links.Note that if you use the 2 wireless connections "HEC Montreal" AND "Eduroam" it could occur a conflict between the 2 networks.
Indeed, Windows seems to systematically abandon the wireless connection with the last known SSID and try the following (eg: "HEC Montreal" to "Eduroam"), which generates other very long delays due to changes in IP addresses before the wireless may eventually become available (after several minutes).
In order to avoid this unproductive and frustrating behavior, it is highly recommended to modify the configuration of the wireless network "Eduroam", and to uncheck the automatic connection (see screen shot below).
This simple trick seems to solve the problem. And ensures a much more efficient experience of our wireless network.
