Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about internet access for the halls of residence of the Studierendenwerk.


==FAQ==


===Can I use Wi-Fi in the hall of residence?===
Yes, but you should use your own router for this. More about this here:
* [[Router einrichten]]
It is also possible to plug a terminal device with a cable into the double network socket labeled '''D'''. This is only recommended in emergencies, because then the device is directly on the Internet without a firewall, which a router usually offers!


===Do I need a VPN?===
Since the IMT has taken over support, a VPN is no longer necessary for Internet access. If you were using a VPN for ''login.padnet.de'', you no longer need one.


===Where do I plug in the cable?===
There is a double network socket in your home. If you want to connect a PC or router to the Internet, you must plug the cable into the left-hand socket labeled '''D'''. The '''D''' stands for ''data''. The left-hand socket labeled '''T''' for ''Telephone'' is currently not in use.


=== How many devices can I connect to the Internet? ===
You have a network socket in your home. You can connect one device directly to the Internet using a network cable. If you want to connect several devices or use WLAN, you need your own router. Find out more here:
* [[Router einrichten]]




=== I can no longer access the Internet since the changeover ===
As a rule, everything should be explained on the following page
* [[Set up router]]
If there are no instructions for your router, you should make the settings anyway. The most important thing is:
* Set DHCP / Dynamic IP on the WAN port (no PPTP!)
* VPNs to ''padnet.de'' are no longer necessary


If this does not help, please write an e-mail to the IMT with the following information:
* VO number you received from the Studierendenwerk (if known)
* Room number and building
* Inscription on the socket on the wall
* Manufacturer and model of the router
* Did you previously configure PPTP on the router (if known)
