Note:
Most mobile phones support dual radio band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz or 5GHz) and automatically pick the radio frequency band based on various criteria. If users want to stick to the 5GHz band which is less noisy and faster, they could select EdUHK, Hostel (in hostels only) or Quarters (at staff quarters only) to force the mobile devices to use the 5GHz band.
Wi-Fi.HK via EdUHK is also provided at EdUHK. Please note that data transmitted on this SSID is not encrypted and therefore, users should avoid conducting sensitive transactions.
