Router
We recommend all tenants to get a WiFi router. You have your own WiFi and it is easy to configure. In addition, suitable WiFi routers are very inexpensive.
The following devices are working (tested by us):
| Manufacturer | Model | RRP (price can vary) |
|---|---|---|
| TP-Link | TL-WR840N/TL-WR841N | €19.99 |
| TP-Link | TL-WR940N / TL-WR941N | €24.99 |
| TP-Link | Archer C50 | €39.99 |
| TP-Link | Archer C1200 | €64.99 |

| AVM | Fritz!-Box 7490 | €199.90 |
| AVM | Fritz!-Box 6890 | €249.99 |
Other routers may work, but do not have to. DSL modems from providers such as Telekom, Vodafone/Kabel Deutschland or O2 generally do not work!
Notfalls könnt Ihr euer Notebook auch direkt anschließen, sofern Ihr einen Netzwerk-Anschluss oder einen USB-LAN-Adapter habt. Wir empfehlen dies aber nicht (Einstellung der Firewall nötig). Der folgende Link erklärt, wie es unter Windows geht:
