Windows manual configuration

If you encounter any problems, please also read our Wi-Fi FAQ and follow the checklist for reporting Wi-Fi issues.

These instructions describe how to manually connect to the KIT (or eduroam) network in Windows 11.

If there is no existing entry for the KIT Wi-Fi network or if the connection was unsuccessful, you’ll need to set up a new Wi-Fi network. In the latter case, you’ll need to delete the existing network (see instructions here) in order to successfully complete all further settings:

1. Open Windows Settings ( + I or via the Windows menu) and go to the Network & Internet section.

   

2. Click on Wi-Fi, then Administration of Known Networks.

   

3. Click Add Network.

   

4. Adjust all the marked settings:

   • Network name: KIT
   • Security type: WPA2-Enterprise AES
   • EAP method: EAP-TTLS
   • Authentication method: PAP
   • Private identifier: anonymous ∂does-not-exist.kit edu
   • Trusted server: radius-wlan.scc.kit.edu
   
   Close the dialog box by clicking Save.
   
   

5. The connection now appears in the list of known networks on the taskbar:

   

6. Now enter username@kit.edu and the password for your KIT account (e.g., ab1234 ∂does-not-exist.kit edu or uxxxx ∂does-not-exist.kit edu):

   

7. Verify the certificate as described in the other Windows guide. Once you've done that, the setup is complete:
