Instructions for setting up WLAN access under Android

Note

Please note that we can only offer help with problems on officially supported operating systems.

When you are asked for the user data, pay attention to upper/lower case and enter your user name (no aliases) including @uni-bremen.de.

For security reasons, the WiFi password is not identical to the password of your university account. Students set the password automatically when activating their university account, other users have to set the WiFi password once in the onlinetools.

If there is a problem, please contact us by e-mail at wlan@uni-bremen.de.
