Access to Absalon's wireless network (WIFI)
On all Absalon locations there is access to three wireless networks:
- eduroam: is our normal student net (in collaboration with other universities and colleges across the World). You must use your Absalon username and password.
- ABSALON Net: is our secure wireless access to the Internet (incl. access to library databases) particularly for employees. You must use your Absalon username and password. A certificate is also needed for installation on the laptop or smart device.
- ABSALON GuestNet: this wireless network can be used by everyone on Absalon's locations, and does not require special access codes. Employees and students are not recognized as guests, but private computers and smart devices are not serviced by Absalon and are as such recognised as "guest" units.
Eduroam is a global collaboration which also gives AU students and employees free access to the wireless network at other teaching and research institutions all over the world. Find Eduroam partners here
