KNUST provides wireless internet connection to all students on campus.
Since all students cannot rely on the WiFi connection, it is complemented with a Vodafone SIM card that comes with a 5GB data bundle every month. The bundle renews every month starting from the very first day it is inserted into your device. And also it does not expire. It piles up when you do not use it.
Most students especially freshmen find it difficult in connecting to the WiFi.
This content is to guide you to connect your devices to the KNUST WiFi or EDUROAM.
WiFi routers are made available in all the halls and colleges.
