eduroam

What is eduroam?

Education Roaming (eduroam) is a worldwide Internet access service for members of educational and research institutions. The accounts of the GWDG, the staff and students of the University of Göttingen, the University Medicine Göttingen UMG and many Max Planck Institutes are eduroam-enabled. Eduroam uses an encrypted WLAN connection (WPA2 Enterprise).

eduroam setup

We strongly recommend to setup eduroam with the configuration wizard (CAT tool). Do not use the automatisms of your device. The CAT tool is provided by the GÉANT Association, of which the DFN-Verein is a member. The CAT tool is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, iOS and Android.

Please follow our detailed instructions with screenshots for the different operating systems.

Important for iOS devices:
If the device is connected to eduroam during installation, the new eduroam profile will not be installed correctly under iOS. This means that if an eduroam profile already exists, it must first be uninstalled. Only then will the reinstallation of the eduroam profile run smoothly. For example, the eduroam profile can be downloaded and installed via the WLAN “GuestOnCampus” or via mobile radio (LTE, UMTS).

Important for Windows Mobile devices:
Please note that your eduroam access must be activated by the GWDG for Windows Mobile devices. Please contact support@gwdg.de for this. If your registration still does not work, you must install the new Telekom root certificate “T-TeleSec Global Root Class 2” on your device. There is no CAT tool for Windows Mobile. So you need to set up eduroam manually.
