Data network (LAN connection)
In each room of the dormitories of the Studierendenwerk there is a network socket (only one of the two ports is active) to connect to the dormitory network. This does not have a direct connection to the Internet. To establish an internet connection from the dormitory, a VPN connection to the university network is required. To use the VPN service, the Cisco AnyConnect client is required and the corresponding access data is needed. The access data are respectively the user IDs and passwords provided by the university. Depending on the university, you can obtain the Cisco AnyConnect Client in different ways:
Students of the University of Rostock
- Download link Cisco AnyConnect Client for students of the University of Rostock
- Information about the access data
Students of the University of Wismar
- Downloadlink Cisco AnyConnect Client for students of the University of Wismar (only available within the dormitory network)
- Information about the access data
- Exception: Students of Wismar University of Applied Sciences who live in a Rostock dormitory cannot access the LAN connection in the dormitory.
Students of hmt Rostock
- Downloadlink Cisco AnyConnect Client for students of hmt Rostock (only available within the dormitory network)

Alternatively you can use another VPN client: OpenConnect
Open the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client and enter the server name of your dormitory location in the "Connect" field:
VPN server name Rostock dorms: asa-rostock.stw-rw.de
VPN server name dormitories Wismar: asa-wismar.stw-rw.de
Then click the button "Connect". Then enter your central user ID of your university in the field "Username". In the field "Password" enter the corresponding password and click the button "OK".
