This article is for tenants who live in a building where SSHnet is available.

Do I have to arrange internet myself? 

On My SSH (tab 'My accommodation') you'll read how the internet is arranged in your building. Many SSH buildings are connected to SSHnet. The information below is for those tenants living in these buildings. 

Why do I have to pay for the internet?

The monthly contribution of 4.50 euros is necessary to provide quality internet and regular maintenance, and will also be used to connect new student complexes to SSHnet.

How do I know if I have SSHnet? 

Go to My SSH, tab 'My accommodation'. There you will find more information about the internet in your student building.

What do SSHnet and Eduroam have to do with each other?

SSHnet uses the Eduroam network. Eduroam is a service provided by SURF, the ICT cooperative for Dutch education and research. As a student, you have an Eduroam account, so you log in to SSHnet with your Eduroam username and password.

Common internet problems

Most tenants report problems about not having internet connection or a very slow wifi. To solve your internet problems (or al least, to try!), it's important to know where you're living. Below, click on the name of your building. This will take you to a page with information about and solutions for your specific situation.

Which devices are allowed to connect to the SSHnet network? 

SSHnet is primarily intended for your personal laptop, tablet and phone - in short, devices you need to live in student accommodation. Household devices that require a wifi connection (such as smart lights or other IoT devices) are often less secure and can put unnecessary strain on the network. This will affect the speed and quality of the internet for all residents. So please use SSHnet for its intended purpose and do not turn it into a complete home network!
