Starting from August 2007, students and staff of EdUHK could enjoy free Wi-Fi service at all CSL Wi-Fi hotspots in Hong Kong. This allows EdUHK members to use Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.1 b/g/n) enabled devices such as notebook computers, PDAs or smartphones to get wireless Internet access at close to 6,000 CSL Wi-Fi hotspots in Hong Kong for free. Access is set up simply by logging on the services using EdUHK network account and password. No registration is required. As a reciprocal arrangement, CSL Wi-Fi customers could also use the EdUHK Wi-Fi services in our Tai Po campus and Town Centre.
Users are bound by the Terms and Conditions of CSL Wi-Fi Services (PDF file, external site, opens in new tab)when using the CSL Wi-Fi Services. Also, for security reason, users are recommended NOT to use public wireless network for sensitive transactions.
Using Wi-Fi service at CSL Wi-Fi Hotspots (for EdUHK members)
All the CSL Wi-Fi hotspots in Hong Kong support web portal login while some support 802.1x login as well at this moment. We recommend using 802.1x connection whenever available as this is more secure.
Configurations for setting up wireless network profile (802.1x)

To use the Wi-Fi service at hotspot that only supports web portal login, you should setup the device with SSID "CSL". When you launch the Internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer), you will be redirected to the login page where you can enter username & password. Just enter UserName@DomainName (e.g. kmho@eduhk.hk) and your account password and follow instructions on screen to complete the login process.
