INTERNET
In Karu 17 we have a free wifi network. Network is available on 2 different frequencies – at 5Ghz (KaruFree) & 2,4Ghz (KaruFree 2,4) frequency. We reccomend to use the 5Ghz frequency since it`s a lot faster & stable than the old 2,4 frequency. If Your device detects a signal on 5Ghz then we reccomend You to use that frequency. If Your device detects only a 2,4Ghz signal then Your device might be getting a little bit dated & its netowrk card not suited for modern networks anymore.
Wifi username: free and Password: karukaru. Max downloading speed is up to 20Mbit/s.

We remind You that these are public networks & might get overloaded on rush hours. Wifi signal & quality always depends on how crowded the network is & what people are using it for. We ask You not to create any personal hotspots in Your apartment; to not download big files or use torrentes, watch Netflix movies etc, because it unstables the signal & because of that everybody in the house using the network suffer on low signal, including Yourself. Our public wifi is targeted for school works. For personal entertainment & leisure, contract with a free market service provider (for exmpl. Telia, Elisa, Tele2).

When You are having slow connection issues please be sure that Your personal device is working properly before You turn to management. Check all the necessary parameters – if the drivers & wifi network card is updated & Your device is virus-free. Dormitory`s crew offers no technological support of that sort! The owner of the computer is responsible for its proper functioning, network compatibility & security.

  • using a computer or device without activated software that protects the computer or device against infection with viruses and malware, incl. allowing third parties to use the network without implementing the necessary security measures;
  • using the network to send inappropriate or unsolicited messages (incl. mass mailing) to any persons, also helping or making it possible to use open relay. Unsolicited mass mailing also means sending spoof and threatening messages or messages with anonymous or forged sender’s details, advertising materials, unauthorised ads, etc., simultaneously and electronically to recipients that have not expressed their wish to receive such messages;
  • copying or forwarding in any manner whatsoever the kind of data and materials that cause a sudden increase in the load of the servers or any communications network when compared to the ordinary load, incl. sending intrusive offers by way of programmes that allow users to send messages via e-mail, e.g. as a “mail bomb”, “chain letter”, “pyramid scheme” or in other formats;
