How Can I Connect to the Wireless Network of the University of Mannheim?

You can connect your mobile devices to fast and free broadband Internet everywhere on campus. Furthermore, students have access to special network resources provided by the institutions of the university, such as  the online databases of the Mannheim University Library.

Please turn mobile hotspotson your smartphones off. These hotspots diminish  the bandwidth on campus and disrupt the entire network!

Another tip for a quicker Internet connection:
Turn off the wireless on your device, when you have taken your seat, and wait a moment. As soon as you turn the wireless on again, your device searches for a connection to the nearest Access Point.
