Connecting to the Eduroam Wireless

The Eduroam wireless network is a collaborative effort among many of the world’s institutions of higher learning that provides easy roaming access to the wireless networks at partner institutions.

Visitors from other institutions may use their institutions’ login credentials to access the FAU wireless infrastructure, and FAU users may use their FAU login credentials at partner institutions. This removes the requirement for visiting professors to sign up for a courtesy account or use guest wireless at institutions they visit. A list of institutions where Eduroam can be utilized is available here.
