How do I connect via Ethernet for the first time?

With the Member Area

  1. Connect your device to the Ethernet port in your room using an Ethernet cable. Please note that some rooms have two Ethernet wall ports, but only one is active (try both if necessary).
  2. If a “802.1X” option appears, disable it.
  3. If you are asked to fill in an “Anonymous” field, leave it empty.
  4. If you are asked to select a “CA Certificate” or “Certificate”, choose “Use system certificates” or “Trust on first use”. Otherwise, select “Do not validate” or “None”.
  5. If you see an option such as “MAC Address Type”, “Private MAC Address”, or “Random MAC Address”, choose “Use the device’s MAC address” or disable the option if possible.
  6. If a “Domain” field appears, enter: “minet.net” .
  7. You will be redirected to the Member Area in your web browser.
  8. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If the redirection does not work

  1. Temporarily connect to the Internet using another device that is already connected or by using a mobile hotspot.
  2. Go to the Member Area and add the MAC address of your first device (need help finding your MAC address?).
  3. Reconnect your first device to the Ethernet port in your room.
  4. IF necessary, verify that all the settings match those described in the first section.

If you experience issues with the wired connection

If you are using Windows or Linux and previously used the old MiNET connection method, refer to the guide for Linux or for Windows. Otherwise, submit a ticket on this website, providing all the required information and describing your issue as clearly as possible.

If you do not have an Ethernet cable, we sell them at the MiNET premises located in the community center (opened Monday to Thursday, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM) for 1 € per meter (3-meter and 5-meter versions are available).
