Connect from Canterbury bedrooms

You can get online in your room using a wireless or wired connection. Online streaming and gaming may be faster using the wire.

If your WiFi connection is weak in your bedroom, restart your device and check again to see if it can pick up a stronger signal. If it is still weak, let us know so we can help.

Before you arrive on campus

Got a computer/laptop? You can setup your connection to Kent WiFi from home.
