Internet & Wifi
There are two internet options:
- Wired internet in your room (fastest connection)
- WiFi network (less fast, as it is a shared network)
[Please note: the WiFi can be slower during rush hours, therefore we recommend you create your own WiFi network by using the wired connection in your room.]
In order to connect to the wired internet, follow these steps:
- Connect your computer with an UTP network cable to the wall outlet in your room.
- Boot your computer and go to www.google.com
- Read the prompted information, agree to the rules of engagement.
- Fill out the requested information. (you need your tenancy agreement number)
- Reboot your computer and you are ready to go.
- Problems or questions? Contact ITT Desk, see info below.
In order to connect to the shared network, choose one of the following:
- Eduroam (international WiFi network for universities)
