The Data Center operates two campus-wide wireless LANs in accordance with the 802.11a/b/g/n standard: one with the network name (SSID) Uni-Mainz and one with the network name eduroam. Both are encrypted and provide increased security.
Connecting to the wireless network Uni-Mainz is usually not complicated. The following description shows how to configure it with Windows 7.
For other operating systems please use → the instructions for eduroam. The only difference is the use of Uni-Mainz as the name of the network (SSID), as seen here.
Please click on the network symbol in the task bar at the bottom right.This will show all available wireless networks. Please click on Uni-Mainz, then Verbinden.
