Hostel network connection services are provided by University Information Technology Service Centre (ITSC). For connecting network at student hostels, you can use a ResNet (Residence Network) connection for campus network. Auxiliary Wifi connection in common area is also provided as an alternative for convenience, but you are always recommended to use a ResNet connection for a speedier and more stable connection.
You can use four simple steps to get a ResNet and Wifi access:
- ResNet: Plug your own network (LAN) cable into a ResNet port
- Wifi: Connect to SSID=CUHKa or CUHK
- Open a web browser and a login page will be prompted
- Enter your computing ID and CWEM password
- Logout when you want to disconnect
Effective from 25 Feb 2013, ResNet ports would be automatically disabled when:
The above activities would keep central network equipment busy in handling unstable flow and result in a slow response on the Campus Network. To protect the public interest, the port is therefore disabled.
As always, you are encouraged to keep good practice when using ResNet:

Please contact ITSC whenever you failed to connect to ResNet service. Port disabled could be one of the reasons. On receiving your request, ITSC support team will identify the cause and fix the issue with you together.
