We know that for many people connection to the Internet is almost more important than connection to the water mains. We therefore recommend that you bring your own network cable so you can connect to the Internet before you have been given a username and password for the wireless network.
You will be given a username and password so you can log on to the wireless network at Østfold University College, which provides the broadband network.
WI-FI: EDUROAM
All student units also have a cabled network socket. You do not need a username or password for the cabled network. You can buy a network cable from the SiØ bookshop.
If you are experiencing network problems, please try the following before contacting us:
1. Check your device works in your unit
2. Check your neighbour’s device is working in their unit
3. Check if your device works in your neighbour’s unit
4. Check if your neighbour’s device works in your unit
If at least one device works in each unit, then the problem lies not with the network and the user must check their own device for errors.
If the problem persists, contact the University college’s IT Help Service.
IT Operations accepts the temporary use of private wireless access points on the condition that these use channels 1, 6 or 11 in the 2.4Ghz band (IEEE 802111g) or any channel in the 5Ghz band.
If you use other channels, you will weaken the Eduroam wireless network.
