Accessing the University's Wi-Fi Network
Network identifiers (SSIDs)
To connect to the wireless network (WLAN) at HS Schmalkalden, you will need to choose a Service Set Identifier (SSID), which is essentially the network's name.
Once you've activated the Wi-Fi adapter on your mobile device (be it a laptop, smartphone, or another gadget), you should see the following two networks listed in the available wireless networks:
- HSM
- eduroam
In order to access the public internet, you will typically require an FHS-ID. This FHS-ID serves as a unique identifier for members of the university.
For more details on this, please refer to Servicekey and FHS-ID
