On Monday, March 9, 2026, at approximately 8:00 a.m., the network in dormitories 9905 and 9907 will be converted to the new technology. The upgrade takes approximately 2-3 hours. As part of this work, the required access type will change from a static IP address to automatic IP assignment (DHCP). From this point on, your existing devices will no longer connect to the internet with their current configuration, and you will need to manually adjust the settings.
On Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at approximately 8:00 a.m., the network in dormitories 9906 and 9908 will be converted to the new technology. The upgrade takes approximately 2-3 hours. As part of this work, the required access type will change from a static IP address to automatic IP assignment (DHCP). From this point on, your existing devices will no longer connect to the internet with their current configuration, and you will need to manually adjust the settings.
Below you will find information about the “new connection” as well as instructions for TP-Link and AVM devices. If you live in a dormitory that has not yet been converted to the new technology, please follow the instructions via the button at the top right of this page.
A DHCP server is activated at each new connection, and each apartment has 13 IP addresses at its disposal.
Access via network cable
You can simply connect a device via network cable and receive an IP address from our router, which you can use to access the Internet. If you need more than one connection, you can use an inexpensive network switch to increase the number of ports in your apartment up to a maximum of 13 devices. If you need more simultaneous devices, you will need to use your own router, which can be easily integrated into the new network thanks to DHCP.
Access via WLAN
Alternatively, you can connect a WLAN access point or a WLAN router to integrate wireless devices. Thanks to DHCP, modern devices work directly “out-of-the-box” without the need for further settings.
MPORTANT: If you have not changed the Wi-Fi name (SSID) or Wi-Fi password of your device, you can simply reset your router to factory settings (press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds). After restarting, the router should automatically work with the new connection and you will not need to configure anything else.
Please note that the configuration and menu structure may vary significantly depending on the device. Therefore, we cannot provide instructions for all devices. If you have any problems, please visit our ServicePoint with your router and all necessary cables.
Access to dormitories 9905, 9906, 9907 and 9908 continues to be governed by the previous instructions:
