CERN Wi-Fi Network
- If you don't have a CERN computer account (before your registration), you can connect your device to the “CERN-Visitors” Wi-Fi network. You should be redirected to the “CERN Visitor Wi-Fi” registration portal. If not (as this is device dependant), open a web browser and you will see the registration portal. This portal provides registration-free access to a limited number of publicly available CERN websites. For full internet access, you need to agree with the CERN computing rules and register by providing your email address and a mobile phone number to which an access code will be sent by SMS. Once you have received and entered the access code, you will be able to access remote web sites (via http and https on standard tcp ports only) as well as some other authorised services such as e-mail, VPN and SSH.
- If you have a CERN computer account (after your registration), you can connect your mobile device (Laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc…) to the Wi-Fi network named “CERN”. Once your device is connected to this Wi-Fi network, open a web browser and you will be redirected to the CERN registration portal. You will then be guided step-by-step to register your device using your CERN account and, after a short while, you will be granted access to the CERN network.
