​​​​​​​ISS is updating the University’s Eduroam Wi-Fi service to increase its security and performance.  As a result, most existing users of the Eduroam Wi-Fi service will need to update the previously installed Eduroam client on their device (laptops and mobile devices) to continue to get access to the service when on campus.  The changeover to the new configuration will take place on Thursday, 12th November 2020. We recommend users who are utilising the Eduroam Wi-Fi service update the Eduroam client in advance of the changeover date to ensure a seamless transition.  Users who do not update their Eduroam client before Thursday, 12th November 2020 will need to update the client on their next connection to the Eduroam Wi-Fi service on campus.
