General
The AYY wireless network offers two access methods: authenticated access via eduroam (SSID: "eduroam") and unauthenticated open access via (SSID: "tupsu"). eduroam is an academic wireless federation that provides roaming network access to users of its member organizations worldwide.
The AYY open access network ("tupsu") is an unencrypted and insecure network. eduroam always uses WPA2/AES encrypted connections. Therefore eduroam is the recommended access method.
Aalto University's eduroam instructions are available (site requires authentication). Users from other universities should refer to their own institution's eduroam configuration guidelines (a list of Finnish universities participating) for correct eduroam configuration.
The AYY wireless network supports IPv4 via DHCP and IPv6 via DHCPv6/Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) regardless of access method (open access or eduroam). IPv6 DNS configurations are available via DHCPv6. The network also supports multicast, but there may be quality degrading issues due to bandwidth requirements and radio connectivity.
IPv6-only Wireless Network
The AYY IPv6-only open access network ("tupsuv6only") and the IPv6-only eduroam network ("eduroamv6only") are for test use only. These networks do not support IPv4, so only native IPv6 connectivity is available. Network configurations are delivered by Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) and DNS servers are available via DHCPv6. If your device does not support DHCPv6, you can manually configure the DNS servers.
As the current IPv6 services support is not very broad, we provide a temporary route to the legacy IPv4 world via the Funet NAT64 translation service. Similarly, the DNS servers (ns5.ayy.fi and ns6.ayy.fi) provide DNS64 support.
Network Technology
The wireless network supports "Wi-Fi 5" (IEEE 802.11ac) or "Wi-Fi 7" (IEEE 802.11be) standards.
AYY wireless network is based on Ubiquiti Networks' UniFi AC Pro, AC SHD and U7 Pro access points, managed via a UniFi Controller.
Network Coverage
The AYY wireless network is available in sauna, party, and meeting facilities.
