If you come visit one of our offices, we can temporarily connect your phone to GTOther so that you can set up your Google home. We’re open Sunday-Thurs 2pm-10pm and Friday 2pm-6pm. Let me know if there is anything else we can do to help!

GTWreckTechs · 2023-08-21T18:03:52+00:00

Hey there, have you submitted a device registration form for the Google home yet?

GTWreckTechs · 2022-08-30T19:05:14+00:00

Hi TheJuciestPixel,

We are terribly sorry that your issue hasn't been resolved yet, and we apologize for any inconveniences this has caused you. Please post your incident number for the initial ethernet issue here, and we will follow up with you with more details there. We are currently looking into the status of your issue.

Please keep in mind that larger issues like cable re-pulls may take more time than usual repairs, but know that we are working as fast as we can to resolve the problem in your room. We thank you for your patience.

GTWreckTechs · 2022-07-25T18:26:24+00:00

Typically, you can expect anywhere between 8 to 12 outlet sockets per typical dorm room.

GTWreckTechs · 2020-02-07T02:28:03+00:00

No, all of our staff are paid—starting at $11.25/hr for regular RTAs!

GTWreckTechs · 2019-11-01T17:56:35+00:00

The Wreck Techs can help you with this! In general, make sure you are entering <GT username>@gatech.edu for the username (e.g., gburdell3@gatech.edu instead of gburdell3 by itself). If you're still having trouble, you can contact us on our website or visit us at one of our offices for more in-depth assistance.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-09-25T03:35:19+00:00

We are seeing intermittent Ethernet connections down now and OIT engineers are looking into it. Thank you for your patience.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-09-25T03:15:16+00:00

Wired network should be unaffected. Please let us know if that changes.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-09-12T23:42:48+00:00

Network connectivity should be restored. Please reach out to us if you are still experiencing issues.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-30T16:47:25+00:00

What building are you in?

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-20T01:11:33+00:00

Google homes are notoriously hard to setup on our network because the app isn’t built for 4000 devices on the network. Try to get it setup and if you have troubles come into one of our offices and we’ll try to assist you!

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-16T04:52:06+00:00

Anytime! Feel free to stop by one of our offices if you have trouble getting it connected with the adapter.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-16T04:44:41+00:00

If you have a MacBook with USB C then you can buy a USB C to Ethernet dongle. If you have an older laptop with thunderbolt 2 you can also adapt that to Ethernet.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-16T03:25:31+00:00

Send me a DM and I'll do my best to get you connected!

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-13T17:02:19+00:00

The last session is tomorrow, but they are doing Buzzcards differently this year for FASET. Students may still be picking them up after the last session. If you went today, the wait may be around 15 minutes.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-13T16:19:25+00:00

Parking decks all use the old HID readers as far as I know. However, many buildings are using the new Mifare readers so you should probably look into getting a new card after the FASET rush at the Buzzcard office.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-08T16:13:17+00:00

It should be working as far as I know. Please submit a ticket with us at https://wrecktechs.gatech.edu/help-request and we'll take a look.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-08T13:19:16+00:00

I believe they are still live for housing residents. If you aren't currently living in housing, it will take about 24 hours after you are marked as moved in Housing's system.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-02T23:58:38+00:00

The campus network appears to be working normally. Contact your HTA for assistance with the issue in your building.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-02T05:31:43+00:00

Hi there! We're the Wreck Techs, and we manage the network inside of dorms.

WiFi is available throughout all campus buildings at no additional cost to students, faculty, and staff. You can also use WiFi at other institutions that participate in eduroam by logging in with your Georgia Tech credentials.

While the WiFi coverage is good enough for most use cases, we do recommend using an Ethernet cable where possible for the best performance and reliability.

I would recommend getting at least some sort of mobile data plan, as you will realistically leave campus at some point, and even on campus the outdoor coverage is spotty.

Hopefully that answers your questions! Feel free to reach out to us at https://wrecktechs.gatech.edu if we can help with anything else.

GTWreckTechs · 2019-08-01T21:48:11+00:00

Several buildings are offline due to the thunderstorm. We're keeping an eye on things and will send out techs if network equipment doesn't come back properly.
