 First reflex: check that your subscription **or** your membership has not expired since the last time. You must have an expiry date later than today **and** active Internet access. Paying for months of connection is useless if you haven't a valid membership. However, they are not lost : once you're again a member, they will instantly become valid.

 The reason is simple: the MAC address written on the label sometimes differs slightly from the real MAC address and the phenomenon is unpredictable. Send us an email, if possible with the MAC address you read and we'll replace it with the real value, the one our network sees passing by.

 You can start by checking that there is no global problem, by looking on our Twitter [@AuroreReseau](https://twitter.com/AuroreReseau) if there is a current incident described there. If you're curious, you can also check our [monitoring](https://grafana.auro.re) service  or its very simplified version, the [status](https://status.auro.re/) page. If the whole "Infrastructure" section is marked "online", the problem probably does not come from us.
 
-If you don't see anything abnormal on these pages, we can guess you are tring to use the Wifi. You should know that the walls of Crous buildings are made of materials that are effective at attenuating the frequencies used for Wifi. As long as your room is located a little far from a terminal, for example at the end of a corridor, the network becomes difficult to use. Add to this the health situation which forces you to study at a distance, thereby putting a heavy burden on videoconferencing services and loading the network and you see the problem. No set of Wifi terminals can support such a load.

 The wired network is always faster and more stable than its wireless cousin (a remark that applies to Aurore as much as it does to your own home), is insensitive to building materials and holds up much better to an intense load. We therefore **strongly** recommend its use, especially if you want to work, attend online courses or use a videoconferencing tool. Online players will also appreciate it. :smile:
 
 ### Sure, but what about my phone?
 
-True that, connecting a phone to a landline doesn't seem very smart. You only need to use a device that can be plugged to the wired network and is able to re-emit its own Wifi network from your room.

-You should know that our network identifies devices by their MAC address, normally unique to the network card (wired or Wifi) used to connect. A phone must therefore have a single MAC address and a computer two, or one if it is unable to connect by wire. There are two main hypotheses to explore.

 - With the stated aim of protecting the privacy of their users, some manufacturers (mainly Apple and Microsoft) have decided that their devices should by default "lie" about their MAC address on a regular basis. Our network then sees a valid connection coming from a new MAC address, which it interprets as a new device. In your profile, 'false' MAC addresses will not be associated with any manufacturer. This is not proof, but at least a clue.
