The wireless network

DTU provides access to two wireless networks:

  • Eduroam (SSID: eduroam)
  • DTU Wireless (SSID: dtu)

To use the wireless network, you should preferably use eduroam. In case this does not work on your computer, feel free to contact the G-Bar support.

You can also use the network with the SSID dtu. After you have connected to this network, you will have to authenticate before you can access the internet. Open a browser and type any address — you will get re-directed to the login page

https://login.wireless.dtu.dk/

The reason we recommend using eduroam is that it's encrypted, whereas dtu is completely open. So if you use dtu, anyone could easily snoop on most of your internet activity and even hijack your Facebook account! Besides, once you've set up eduroam (which is really not that difficult), you won't need to provide your login credentials each time you connect your laptop.
