AG DSN

We offer a permanently installed WLAN ("WiFi") called agdsn in some of the dormitories which are supplied with internet by us. The coverage (see map below) is constantly being expanded by us. If you are visiting one of these dormitories, you will have internet access there regardless of your place of residence.

Attention: Due to security concerns the credentials for the WLAN are different from your general credantials for our website. If you don't have your WLAN credentials yet, you can get or reset them in your Usersuite.

Setting up the network#

As an alternative to the manual configuration we also offer a configuration assistent. However, we recommend attempting manual configuration first.

The assistant can be found in the here. Please select ”agdsn” as the network on the website.

The configuration for the WLAN is the following:

(The names of these options may vary depending on your device.)

If your device doesn't support system validated certificates, use this certificate. You can either select this directly when setting up the network, or store it as a WiFi certificate in the settings of your device beforehand.

The WLAN password can be displayed as well as reset in the Usersuite.

If you're unable to log in to the Usersuite, please contact our Support.

Setting up devices without WPA-Enterprise support#

In case your device doesn't support WPA-Enterprise, you may use the agdsn-mpsk Wi-Fi.

“mpsk” stands for “multi pre-shared key”, simply put the Wi-Fi has multiple Wi-Fi passwords. In comparison: regular Wi-Fi routers create a Wi-Fi with a single password “pre-shared key”.

In order to use your device with the agdsn-mpsk Wi-Fi, enter its MAC address in the Usersuite. Make sure you're entering the MAC address of the wireless interface in case the device has multiple network interfaces.

Next you can configure the Wi-Fi on the device. Please use the Wi-Fi password from the Usersuite.

Coverage#

We can already provide full coverage in some dormitories (marked green on the map). You won't need a own router to get wifi access in this dormitories. In some other buildings we can provide only partial coverage (marked yellow on the map). There you'll need your own router to get WLAN in your room. We're planning to provide full coverage for all dormitories in the long term.
