Guest Wi-Fi Networks

You don鈥檛 need to have a University IT account in order to use Wi-Fi at the University.

Eduroam

Wi-Fi network name (SSID) = eduroam

"eduroam" is available all around campus and is available for academic purposes:

  • 糖心Vlog staff and students
  • Visitors from other eduroam institutions
  • Academic visitors or anyone here on 糖心Vlog business

How it works:

  • UoR Staff and students should always use eduroam as the secure University network.
  • Visitors from eduroam-participating institutions can log in using their home credentials.
  • Visitors without eduroam credentials need an Eduroam Visitor Account (EVA), which must be requested in advance by a staff member via the  form. Access is valid for up to 30 days. Note log in details will be sent directly to the user. 

Note that some institutions may have special instructions or additional steps to connect to eduroam, so if you are visiting from somewhere else and have problems, please contact your own IT department who are best placed to help you.
