eduroam

Our eduroam service was updated in April 2019.  To use the new version you will have to make an initial connection.  Please note internet connectivity is required to complete this process so please do so before you travel to a member institution.

 

Setting up your Royal Holloway eduroam connection is now much quicker and easier.  If your device operates on Windows 10, Mac OS or iOS the process should be straightforward.  iOS devices will prompt the user to trust the new certificate.  This is normal behaviour for iOS to prompt for trust of any certificate that is not from apple.com.

Where do I get support?

eduroam users on the Royal Holloway campus can contact IT support. Visitors from other institutions should note that eduroam on a specific device should have been created and tested at the home institution first, otherwise we may not be able to assist effectively.  Royal Holloway students and staff visiting participating institutions should also be aware that eduroam sites may refuse to diagnose issues with eduroam on a device if it hasn't been tested at Royal Holloway.
