The generic settings specified below may allow you to configure a suitable wireless device to connect to the eduroam secure wireless network.

Not all the configuration settings will be available on all devices. If you cannot configure any of these settings it is unlikely your wireless device is capable of connecting to the eduroam wireless network.

If you are not sure how to configure your device, contact your Faculty technician in the first instance or the Digital Services Service Desk before you visit another institution.

Please note: For details of any security certificates required, please refer to the Ulster eduroam page.
