Connect to WLAN with Windows 10
Since mid November 2018 the eduroam WLAN is the preferred wireless network at ETH. This is a step-by-step guide for Windows 10 to connect to eduroam.
Realms
Every ETH account is authorized for certain network areas (Realms). Via WLAN you will be able to log in to these realms by using the syntax <username>@<realm>.ethz.ch. Valid Realms for your account will be shown after you log into realms.ethz.ch with your regular ETH login and password.
Typically you would choose one of the following three realms
<username>@student-net.ethz.ch if your are student at ETH
<username>@staff-net.ethz.ch if your are a staff member of ETH
<username>@guest-net.ethz.ch if your are a guest at ETH
WLAN/VPN login and password
Make sure you know the username with the realm you intend to use
Make sure you know your WLAN/VPN password before continuing!
- Make sure WLAN is activated on your computer
Open Wi-Fi settings
In the Windows start menu
Type wifi
Select Change Wi-Fi settings
- Wi-Fi settings open
Delete known networks eth-5, eth, public-5 and public
In case you experience problems connecting to the eduroam network, remove all previous connections to an ETH wireless network and start over afterwards.
In Wi-Fi settings
Select Manage known networks
- A list of known networks appears
Select each of the networks eth-5, eth, public-5 public if they're available and klick on Forget
Add new network eduroam
If you're using WLAN in close proximity to a non-ETH building also offering eduroam WLAN (like the University Hospital) use the eth WLAN in place of eduroam.
In Wi-Fi settings
Select Show avaliable networks
- A list of available networks appears
Select eduroam (eduroam-5, eth, eth-5 are possible as well)
Klick Connect
A dialog requesting "User name" and "Password" appears
Enter <username>@<realm>.ethz.ch
Enter your WLAN/VPN password in the the field Password
Klick on OK
A dialog "Continue connecting? ..." appears
Klick on Continue connecting
Wireless networks
Currently the ETH wireless networks operate in two frequency ranges:
2.4 GHz: offers coverage for farther distances, but may perform at slower speeds
5 GHz: provides faster data rates at a shorter distance
If faster speeds are most important to you, select a 5 GHz wireless network with the suffix -5. If the wireless range is more important to you, select a 2.4 GHz wireless network without a suffix.
