Wi-Fi at the University of Erfurt

The University of Erfurt is a member of the Education Roaming Initiative (eduroam) and thus offers its staff, students and members free internet access. External users whose home institution is also a member of the eduroam network can use eduroam with the configuration and access data of their home institution. Please ask for the correct configuration at your home institution.

Here you will find step-by-step instructions for setting up the relevant operating system/type:

• Windows
• Android
• iPhone/iPad
• macOS
• Linux
• Chromebook/Chrome OS

You can connect devices to the Wi-Fi gast-ue without any special setup. If you do not have guest access, you can only access websites of the uni-erfurt.de domain!

Guest access is only intended for users who are not in the eduroam network and who have a legitimate interest in using it (e.g. external lecturers, conference participants without eduroam access).

The access data must be requested by e-mail → URMZ

However, the Wi-Fi gast-ue is not a free Wi-Fi access for external library visitors and cannot be approved despite an application! Alternatively, there are places in the library that can be used with a self-brought LAN cable. See the library news of 26.06.23 “With your own cable to the internet”. In addition, public PCs are available in the library, which can also be used by guests.

When accessing any website, the user is redirected to the guest access login page. Internet use is only enabled after entering the access data.

Please note: The Wi-Fi gast-ue is not encrypted for technical reasons! Please therefore take particular care to only enter sensitive data (e.g. passwords) via an encrypted connection to the application (e.g. https in the browser)!
