An Overview of the Electronic Systems for Students of Justus Liebig University Giessen
Using wireless LAN (WiFi) for internet access
The IT Service Centre operates several wireless LAN networks that differ in terms of data encryption and user authentication. We strongly recommend using the eduroam network since it provides the highest security standards and a convenient handling. Not only does it allow you to access the internet at JLU and the University of AppliedScience (Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen), many other universities also participate in the eduroam network.
Where do I find the wireless LAN hotspots?
Wireless LAN hot spots can be found almost everywhere on campus. Usually, libraries, cafeterias, auditoriums and classrooms are equipped with wireless LAN.
