Wireless network Access

The Department of Informatics Engineering allows laptop computers to connect to the campus network using wireless technology. The entire building is covered with three different SSIDs:

• eduroam – the secure, worldwide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. Supported by CIUC – University of Coimbra and available on all University campuses.
• eduroam-5Ghz – same as eduroam but operating at 5 GHz frequency.
• DEI – local network available only at the DEI campus, using the same configuration as eduroam.
• DEI-5Ghz – same as DEI but operating at 5 GHz frequency.

To connect, you must use a valid DEI network account (username and password required).

Network Coverage

The wireless network is available throughout DEI, offering 54 Mbps connectivity.

Hardware

Your device must support Wi-Fi (802.11 a/n/g/ac certified wireless cards).

Configuration Instructions

You can authenticate using a browser (only for eduroam-guest) or via 802.1x TTLS authentication.
