When using the internet connection in student residences, it is possible to temporarily connect a device such as a PC or laptop directly to the network via LAN. However, this should only be used as a temporary solution, for example, if you are moving in and still need to purchase a router.
IMPORTANT: Connecting via LAN means you are directly connected to the network, which means you do not have a private IP network. This is significantly less secure. Therefore, it is strongly advised against using this as a permanent solution, and you should purchase a router as soon as possible.
What needs to be done?[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Connect a LAN cable to the network socket in the wall and plug the other end of the LAN cable into your device.
Step-by-step instructions[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
You will need a LAN cable (at least CAT 5e or higher) and a device with a LAN port, such as a PC or laptop. If your device doesn't have a LAN port, you'll also need a suitable adapter, for example, LAN to USB-C.
- Plug the LAN cable into the left port of your network socket.
