Overview radio networks
Wifi networks at Dortmund University
Three WLANs with different purposes are currently available at Dortmund Technical University.
Please select the SSID that matches your device type and usage scenario.
eduroam
eduroam is the standard Wi-Fi network for everyday use. It is intended for students and employees and uses strong authentication (802.1X/EAP). eduroam is the first choice for laptops, smartphones, and tablets, as well as for devices that support 802.1X/EAP in general.
In addition, eduroam can be used at many other universities and research institutions worldwide.
Access: Log in with your university ID in the format ...@tu-dortmund.de and the corresponding Wi-Fi password.
For reliable configuration, setup via a configuration profile (e.g., eduroam CAT) is recommended
TU-GAST
TU-GAST is intended for visitors who need short-term Internet access.
It is not intended for permanently operated devices or IoT scenarios.
Access: Use with temporary guest access according to the specified process.
The specific steps and framework conditions are described in the service portal under the topic of guest access.
TU-IoT
TU-IoT supplements eduroam and TU-GAST for special devices without eduroam capability.
Cisco iPSK allows access to be managed separately for each device or device group, blocked as needed, and segmented via VLAN if necessary. TU-IoT is only available in areas where new access points from the WLAN expansion are already in operation.
Access: Activation via the Service Desk, after which users enter and manage the MAC addresses themselves.
Delegation of group management and VLAN assignments are possible, but require approval from the Service Desk in each case
