Internet Wireless access



DIC offers wireless Internet access in all ULBS teaching locations as well as certain student dormitories. You need MyAccount to connect or your home university account if it's affiliated to eduroam Federation.

The wireless service of ULBS is connected to the EduRoam network. The name of the access points is "eduroam". ULBS students and teachers can log in using their ULBS MyAccount user and password through a special software. The transfer between the ULBS HotSpots and the client is encrypted.

Wireless service can also be accessed through "ULBS_Wireless" access points with temporary authentication through the web captive portal.

    2. You must log in every time you want to use the wireless service in the window that appears when you first start the browser you are using.
