Instructions for accessing the network: eduroam
This section is intended exclusively for members of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. Members of other institutions should follow the configuration instructions provided by their home institution.
Note: Even though access to the eduroam wireless network is sometimes possible on an ad hoc basis (without special configuration of the WLAN end devices), it is strongly recommended that you configure the WLAN end devices used in the eduroam wireless network in accordance with the following configuration instructions:
- This is the only way to ensure that your WLAN end device only transmits the login information (user name/password) to trusted login servers.
- Using the default WLAN settings of some operating systems can result in an unstable WLAN connection to the eduroam network.
