Three-Step Setup for WiFi Access
Since authentication integration for campus wireless internet has been completed, and in view of providing better campus wireless network service, NTHU faculty, staff, and students who have a Campus Wireless LAN Account can enjoy the convenience of wireless internet in three steps.
Step 1：Check the Wireless Network Coverage
Before connecting, you should check whether the wireless network is available in your area. Check with the following methods:
- Campus Wireless LAN Account Service Scope
- Areas on campus where the Wireless Internet Label is visible (see below)
- Directly scan for a wireless network signal with a mobile device that supports wireless connections (such as a laptop). If an SSID with the naming scheme “nthu-department-option” is detected (as an example, see Step 2：selecting a reliable wireless access point), this means that there is wireless internet available in your area.
Step 2：Selecting a reliable wireless access point
When connecting, select a verified wireless network name on campus. In other words, whose SSID begins with “nthu-” and which differs by authentication method. See the explanation below:

Step 3：Enter the Campus Wireless LAN Account
After connecting to a reliable wireless access point, the user must enter login information for their Campus Wireless Network Account or cross-campus roaming account on a designated interface. Once successfully authenticated, you may begin using wireless network services. The interface for entering account information will differ depending on the method of authentication.
