Faculty, Staff, and Students

91Èȱ¬Íø faculty, staff and students should connect to the eduroam wireless network for wireless service. This network uses enterprise security and encryption to keep your information private and secure. Connecting to this network will require some configuration. To configure your device:

1. Connect to 91Èȱ¬Íø-Guest.
2. After accepting the networking requirements, click full access or go to on the device you want to connect.
3. Choose the recommended option* and enter your 91Èȱ¬Íøid username and password.
4. Run the setup tool provided for your device.
5. The tool should then configure your device and automatically connect you to the eduroam network.

*The recommended option installs a certificate on your device that will allow you to connect for up to 7 years. On Android devices, this requires you to have a passcode on your device. If you would rather not have a passcode, the alternate option will configure your device to connect. However, if you choose the alternate option, you must reconfigure your device every time you change the password for your 91Èȱ¬Íøid account.
