== Anyone with an account from a University, Applied University or UMC ==

Your home institute most likely participates in eduroam. If this is the case you can use the '''eduroam !WiFi''' network, but:
 * 5th floor in building 3226: Good !WiFi performance
 * 6th floor in building 3211: Good !WiFi performance
 * 5th floor in building 3211: '''WARNING, unstable network and slow performance'''[[BR]]
   Reason is that UMCG eduroam interferes with RUG eduroam. Therefore UMCG eduroam is currently disabled on the 5th floor of building 3211.[[BR]]
   When on the 5th floor of 3211 you either get the UMCG eduroam from the 6th floor or RUG eduroam from the 4th floor.[[BR]]
   Due to the thick concrete floors the signal is poor.
   This problem will not get solved until all aging RUG !WiFi in all Medical Faculty buildings has been replaced with the newer UMCG !WiFi, which is planned for October 2018...

Note: eduroam is considered external network; you will get access to int'''er'''net, but cannot get access to the int'''ra'''net.

== UMCG computers managed by UMCG MIT ==
These are the machines running Windows 7 and which are managed by UMCG MIT (The central ICT dept.)
You can access the int'''ra'''net using:
 * '''Wired UMCG network''' connection
 * '''UMCG !WiFi network''' connection

In both cases the ''known'' machine can authenticate using the 802.1X protocol to get access.

== Computers managed by user ==

This is for machines managed by users themselves and hence not managed by UMCG MIT (The central ICT dept.)

You can access the int'''ra'''net using:
 * '''Wired UMCG network''' connection
   * Authentication by user with UMCG account and member of Genetics Dept. using 802.1X protocol.
   * (Machine cannot authenticate as it is not ''known'')
   * (Does not work for users from other departments)

Hence you cannot access the UMCG !WiFi.
