KolejNet

The KolejNet computer network is available at all BUT halls of residence for both students and visitors. The internet connection can be established wirelessly via the eduroam Wi-Fi network, or using standard ethernet sockets directly in the rooms. Hotel guests staying at the dormitories connect to the internet via a dedicated wireless network vut.cz.

To connect to the eduroam network, you need to know your username in the format <personal ID number>@vutbr.cz and your BUT PIN.

The new KolejNet:Arrive and connect!

Starting from the 2026 academic year, there is a fundamental change in how the KolejNet network operates, aimed at simplifying internet access as much as possible. Network connectivity is now fully included in the accommodation for everyone, completely free of any additional charges beyond the standard dormitory fee.

The entire system now works without complex registrations and the need to register connected devices. The connection is provided primarily via the eduroam wireless network, complemented by wired connections in the rooms. Along with this modernization, some older services that have lost their historical significance are being phased out.

More detailed information regarding the new concept and technical changes can be found below in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section. Connection guide - HOWTO connect guide PDF.

Connection via eduroam (Wi-Fi)

The main and easiest way to connect at the halls of residence is the international secure academic network eduroam. The network works on the principle of global roaming – if your account is active, you can connect at any other participating university.

Procedure for secure setup:

  • For the correct and secure setup of your device (mobile phone, laptop), we strongly recommend using the official configuration tool eduroam CAT.
  • Alternatively, you can use the manuals and recommended software for various operating systems on the Eduroam.cz website.

Are you a BUT student or employee?

  • To log into the eduroam network, you must enter your username in the format <personal number>@vutbr.cz (e.g. 123456@vutbr.cz or xlogin00@vutbr.cz).
  • The main password to your BUT account is not used; instead, a special BUT PIN is required.
  • You can generate or change your BUT PIN after logging into the portal at id.vut.cz in the BUT PIN section.
  • Detailed illustrated instructions and setup specifications can be found in the BUT Wi-Fi documentation.

Are you a student or employee of another school?

  • You log into the eduroam network using the same credentials (username including the domain and password) that you normally use at your home university or faculty.
