Connect to the Eduroam network

Tags eduroam DSU

Eduroam allows for faculty, staff, and students of the University of Wyoming to connect to other campus WiFi at participating universities, globally.  Connecting to eduroam on campus will work the same as UWyo wireless.

To connect to the Eduroam you will need to use your full UW email address and your UWyo password.  (Example: cowboyjoe@uwyo.edu)

For details on the EduRoam project, please visit : Home - eduroam.org

The EduRoam site has information on usage, locations where you can find EduRoam, configuration tools to assist with connecting as well as a Companion App for Android and iOS devices.  (the Companion App is maintained by the EduRoam project and is not supported by or affiliated with the University of Wyoming.)  This app may be useful for assistance connecting if you have problems connecting manually as described below.
