Studentnetwork
The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Dresdner Studentennetz, or AG DSN for short, is a student association in Dresden. We are volunteer students who manage the connection of the dormitories to the university network - and therefore the internet.
We provide network connections with an up- and download speed of 1 GBit/s for our members in almost all dormitories.
Additionally, we work at soft- and hardware projects and collaborate with other people and organizations concerning a wide range of topics. Actual information can be found on Twitter and Github.
Setup#
There are roughly three scenarios for how you can get connected to the student network (and thus to the internet):
-
You live in a dormitory with a cable connection in your room (not in the FL16 and Tharandt dormitories) and
a) you want to connect only one device directly via cable (Ethernet) -> direct connection
b) you want to connect any number of devices via cable (Ethernet) -> connection via your own router
c) you want to connect any number of devices via Wi-Fi -> connection via your own router -
you live in a dormitory with Wi-Fi provided by us (see availability map) and
you want to connect any number of devices via Wi-Fi -> connection to our Wi-Fi

Additional Features#
Due to our structure we can offer some services not available at custom providers.
It is possible to get PoE(+) (IEEE 802.af or IEEE 802.at) directly attached to your port! If you are interested in enabling PoE on your port, visit us at our office hours or at a meeting.
