Users must re-authenticate every 60 minutes when using Wireless

I was informed today that OIT made an upgrade to the firmware. A negative side effect to this is after 60 minutes a student will have to re-authenticate again to stay connected to the wireless. They will have to do this every hour they want to stay connected to the wireless. Understandably this is a pain but the upgrade is necessary. They are going to try and make it longer but are not sure this will be possible.
