Internet

At Nalanda, anyone can connect their devices through WiFi (wireless) connection which is available daily from 4 AM until 10 PM. 

There are two different networks you can connect to :

• Public WiFi : password "lamazopa"
  This is the network we recommend you to use on devices that do not need access to ANANDA or the printer.

• Nalanda WiFi : password "vW7wrHPaYOAx"
  This is the network that has to be used if your device needs access to ANANDA or the printer.

As specified in the Guide to Harmonious Living, please remember to contribute 3€ a month to the office if you are using Nalanda's internet connection. ONLY Volunteers can use the Wifi free of charge.

Should you encounter a problem with your computer, especially when it comes to accessing internet, printing, accessing Nalanda's documents etc. Please approach a member of our IT team.

How to print at Nalanda?

First, make sure your device is connected to Nalanda WiFi and not Public WiFi. It is a good idea to remove Public WiFi from your saved network to avoid issues in the future.

Second, to print at Nalanda you will need a personal code of 4 or 5 digits that you can choose. Send an email to IT@nalanda-monastery.eu (or go to the office) to request your personal code to be activated. With this code, all your printing will be automatically counted and about twice a year, you will receive a detailed bill.

Printing costs: 

• 0.06€ per side in black and white

• 0.15€ per side in color
