## page was renamed from Workstations/Network/WLAN #rev 2020-09-10 stroth #rev 2018-09-24 stroth = 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 '''@.ethz.ch'''. Valid Realms for your account will be shown after you log into [[https://realms.ethz.ch/|realms.ethz.ch]] with your '''regular ETH login and password'''. Typically you would choose one of the following three realms * '''@student-net.ethz.ch''' if your are student at ETH * '''@staff-net.ethz.ch''' if your are a staff member of ETH * '''@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 '''@.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.
