We are currently looking for LAN tutors! For more information, see [Become a Lan-Tutor].
Welcome
Welcome to the LAN wiki. Here you will find all the information you need to set up your internet connection.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the lan tutors. For issues not related to the internet, please contact the on-site service of your accomodation.
Who are lan tutors?
All lan tutors are fellow residents of your accomodation who have agreed to help you with any problems you may encounter. Please note that this system is voluntary. We therefore ask for your understanding if the lan tutors are not available around the clock, especially on weekends. All lan tutors are students themselves and therefore have student obligations to fulfil.
Activation
The studierendenwerk provides you with one LAN socket per room, to which you can connect an internet-enabled device via a LAN cable. Each room receives its own network configuration, which will be sent to you by email. Upon receipt of this email, your connection will be activated. If you have not received this message, please contact the responsible lan tutors.
Important: If you sublet your room, we require proof of this. In this case, you will receive an email from the housing service, which you can simply forward to us. Alternatively, you can send us a scan of your signed tenancy agreement as an attachment. We can only activate your connection once we have successfully verified your move-in.
Setup
While, you can connect your computer directly to the connection the studierendenwerk recommends using a NAT-enabled router for the use of WiFi.
If you wish to change your device at a later date, you will need to consult with the lan tutors.
Detailed information on setup can be found here.
