I am a visitor and I only need access to Internet and CERN public resources. How can I get Wi-Fi access?
For this use-case, please 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 need a full access to internet (no restrictions on tcp/udp ports and applications), please see the use-case below
Is Eduroam available ?
Yes. Eduram (education roaming), the secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community, is available at CERN.
If you are an eduroam user from elsewhere, please connect to the eduroam SSID and open a browser. You will be redirected to the registration page where you will need to agree to abide by respect CERN's Computing Rules but you will not need to give the name of a CERN contact. Once you have connected to eduroam once, you can connect to eduroam or CERN as your details will have been entered into our database automatically.
CERN staff members, fellows and technical students can also use eduroam to connect to Wi-Fi service at participating institutes (including Geneva airport). To use eduroam elsewhere, you must first connect to the eduroam Wi-Fi service at CERN in order to configure your device.
More details about the Eduroam service can be found at http://www.cern.ch/eduroam.
What can I do when I am connected to the CERN wireless network?
If you connect and register to “CERN” or “eduroam”, you can basically do anything! Once connected to the wireless network, you have the same access level as with a standard wired connection. However, please remember that you have agreed to respect CERN's Computing Rules.
If you are a visitor connected to the “CERN-Visitors” network, you have access to Internet (including CERN publicly available resources) for a restricted set of protocols—http, https, e-mail, VPN and SSH. No direct access to CERN internal resources is possible, but you can use the mail2print service to print, for example a boarding pass.
