More information about WiFi

  • WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) is a wireless network designed primarily to replace wired connections, it is used to connect wirelessly to the Internet or to connect computers
  • MZK WiFi networks are secured in WPA2 Enterprise mode.
  • You can connect to wifi via laptops and mobile devices

The wireless network operates over IEEE 802.11b/g compliant hardware and is implemented by Dlink access points. To connect to the network, it is therefore necessary to have your device equipped with a card that is certified for IEEE 802.11b/g - WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) interoperability by the WECA alliance. The identifier (SSID) of the library wireless network is "MZK", the identifier of the eduroam wireless network is "eduroam".

Each device receives an IP address dynamically via DHCP. After obtaining the address, the user is blocked from accessing the external network until he logs in and unblocks access for his device.
