The University of Stuttgart’s Wi-Fi network consists of many access points. These are distributed across the campus as needed and already cover a large part of the campus. Unfortunately, individual users and research projects sometimes operate their own access points. This can cause interference that we cannot prevent, as this is a freely accessible and unlicensed spectrum. Other networks, such as private hotspots, only exacerbate this problem. If you believe that an additional access point is needed in your area, please email us at wlan-support@tik.uni-stuttgart.de with your location and an explanation of whether an existing access point needs to be relocated (e.g., because usage patterns have changed) or whether a completely new device is required. Existing cabling (a free single outlet) is required to operate the access point.

Please contact us. The best way to do so is to send us an email describing your request.
