Tips. About Dormitory Network

    In student dormitories, wireless LAN service has been equipped. However, the network connection may be of very low quality due to signal interference from many access points placed in neighboring rooms. Moreover, deterioration of signal quality leads to the emergence of new access points with high radio wave output, and the interference is further increased. Thus everyone using wireless LAN service in dormitory is in a vicious circle. Accordingly, please cooperate for better management environment.

    Please note that we cannot respond to inquiries regarding access points owned by individuals. If you think there is a problem with the wired LAN port in the dormitory, please connect your PC to the wired LAN and see if the problem occurs.

 

We recommend using a wired LAN for important communications such as online classes and job interviews.
It is required to register the device for wired-LAN in dormitory. Please show the following link.
