Connect to Eduroam WiFi with a UiO username (students and other privately owned devices)

To connect to Eduroam you need a configuration file. It sets up all security policies required to use Eduroam. You login with your UiO username and password. Remember to add @uio.no after your username.

If you have recently changed your password you may need to reconnect to Eduroam.

Setting up Eduroam using the wireless network uioguest

In the UiO Guest Portal you can click on Setup your client for eduroam to configure eduroam on your device.
