The WiFi network at Aurore is protected by `WPA2-Enterprise` authentication
and the wired network is protected by an authentication by captive portal.
In both cases the connection requires a login and a password.
No manipulation on the intranet is required to add
a new machine: at the first connection
**your device will be automatically registered on your intranet account**.

The machine MUST NOT be already registered on another account!
If you lend your identifiers, then this other person will
no longer be able to register his machine on the network.
If this is the case you need to contact us.

Microsoft has decided to no longer distribute security updates
for Windows 7 since January 14, 2020.
We strongly encourage you to upgrade to Windows 10 or Linux
which in both cases is free.

</article>
We no longer support theses operating systems because
they are no longer secure and cause security problems for the network.

## WiFi on other devices
For game consoles, the vast majority (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo
Switch...) do not support `WPA2-Enterprise`.
If you wish to connect this device, then you must either go through
the Ethernet cable, or buy a WiFi router that you plug into the Ethernet port
of your room to have your own WiFi network.
The advantage of a router is to create your own private network, isolating your
other users' home devices.
<div class="divider"></div>
## Wired network
Each room has an "RJ45" Ethernet port.
If we do not have a cable to connect your computer,
one free cable will be given to you, when you first joined.
You can also purchase a USB/USB-C to Ethernet adapter at any time.
Connect directly by cable, in your room for example.
A pop-up window should open. If it doesn't, go to
<http://intranet.auro.re/>.
Then identify yourself with your username and password
and follow the instructions.
You should have Internet access in less than 10 minutes.
You should also receive an email notification.

If you have a machine that can't surf the Internet
(e.g. a WiFi router), then you will need to manually create your
wired machine.
Get the MAC address of your machine, then log in to
<a href="https://intranet.auro.re">the intranet</a>.
Then click on create a machine, fill in the MAC and let the
other parameters unchanged. Finally, connect the device to your outlet.
