Chapter 7 Internet access
We have a fast and high-quality cable connection at the 17. Listopadu Dormitory. But since the dormitory got access to a Wi-Fi network in 2017, many people no longer use the cable connection due to its more complex configuration and because, unlike Wi-Fi, you had to pay for it. However, this changed in the summer of 2019, as the dormitory network, which was previously managed by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, is now under ÚVT UK1. If a slightly more stable connection is worth about 15 minutes of configuration, you can try it. The access data are similar to those for eduroam, but the login name is in the form of personalnumber@cuni.cz and the password is the same as what you set for eduroam, see below. You can find the current version of the manual on the Dormitory Council’s web pages, see file win101.
If access to Wi-Fi is enough for you, you again have two options.
eduroam
If you are a student at any university that offers its students access to the eduroam network, your login details will also work for you at our dormitory. The access password for CU (Charles University) can be generated via CAS. Tutorial can be found on the 2https://uvt.cuni.cz/UVTEN-60.html.
uk-guests
If you can’t get access to eduroam, for example, because you are a graduate, the uk-guests network will come to your rescue. They will be happy to provide you with your login information at the accommodation office.
If you suspect that the Internet is down in the entire dormitory, the Pasnet map can sometimes help you confirm it. Pasnet is an academic network that our dormitory is connected to as well.
Devices unable to connect by the previous options
If you cannot connect with the previous options (for example with PlayStation or Xbox), send an e-mail to the service desk3, and you will get cable access with the MAC address of your device.
