Internet & Wi-Fi
At all branch libraries, you can access the internet from library computers or via Wi-Fi provided by the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ).
eduroam network
eduroam provides TUM students and employees with Wi-Fi access on campus. They can also use eduroam hotspots at participating educational and research institutions worldwide. To log in, you need your seven-character TUM ID, e.g., go42tum, followed by @eduroam.mwn.de, as well as your personal password.
Members of LMU, HM, HSWT, and other organizations whose home institutions participate in eduroam can also use the hotspots on the TUM campus. To log in, use the personal user ID provided by your organization.
The eduroam access points at TUM are operated by the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ).

BayernWLAN
If you do not have access to eduroam, you can use the open BayernWLAN network instead. No registration, password, or login credentials are required. Simply connect your device to the @BayernWLAN network.
BayernWLAN is a public network available to everyone and is also broadcast via the LRZ Wi-Fi access points. It is operated by the BayernWLAN Zentrum Straubing at the Bavarian Agency for Digitisation, High-Speed Internet and Surveying.

Tips for Slow Wi-Fi
Individual access points can become heavily congested, particularly at the Branch Library Main Campus. This may result in a slower internet connection.
Here are a few things you can try:
- Briefly disconnect your device from Wi-Fi at your study space and then reconnect. This helps prevent your device from remaining connected to the heavily congested access point near the entrance.
- Use eduroam-a on the less congested 5 GHz network.
- Check the current utilization of access points and move to an area with less network traffic.
Your first point of contact for questions and problems concerning internet access and Wi-Fi is the TUM IT Support:
