One account per device

For security reasons, it is recommended to have one WiFi account per device, for example one for your laptop and another for your smartphone. This way you can easily block the account if you lose the device. You can do this easily in IDService.

You can have a maximum of five active WiFi accounts at the same time.

Problems connecting to the network

If you have problems connecting to Eduroam, ask the device to forget the network and then try to log in again. Make sure you log in with your Eduroam account and not your computer ID.

You can try downloading and running the Eduroam Installer if you have problems with your connection.
