On Wednesday 19th of July we have had scheduled maintenance to the network which involved updating the certificates used to guarantee a secure connection to the B.amsterdam WiFi network. After this update you may run into problems connecting to the network depending on the device/OS and previously used authentication method (username/password or User Profile).
The B our guest WiFi network can be used to access the network portal when you cannot connect to the B.amsterdam WiFi network. However, it is important to make sure you are NOT using this network for your day-to-day work. Because it is outside of your company’s private network, there can be security concerns, communication problems with other devices – like those used by your colleagues, printers or file servers – and reduced performance.
If you have trouble connecting to the B.amsterdam WiFi network, please look at our OS-specific guides:
Note: The screenshots often refer to the Apollo14 WiFi network. In your case it should state B.amsterdam.
