The wireless network that you should use to connect laptops, tablets and phones is ‘eduroam’.
The JANET eduroam service provides internet access not only in QMUL but in academic institutions across the UK and in many countries around the world with the same QMUL username and password. For information about eduroam, visit: www.eduroam.org
Making a connection to the eduroam network is a little different from the sort of wireless networks that you may have seen before. It requires you to install an electronic certificate on your computer; how this is done varies from device to device.
Note that eduroam will never show a webpage asking for your username and/or password do not use any network that requests this information.
Note: To configure your device for eduroam in the most secure manner, please use the eduroam Configuration Assistance Tool (CAT) where possible – see http://www.its.qmul.ac.uk/support/self-help/networks/wifi/
Select the ‘eduroam’ network in your Wi-Fi settings. This will prompt you for your QMUL username and password. You will need to enter your username in the format ab12345@qmul.ac.uk (please note that this is NOT your email address).
You will then be asked to accept a certificate with the some or all of the following details:
Name/Subject: radius2.qmul.ac.uk

Expires: 27 March 2025 14:07:23

Thumbprint/Fingerprint: 8bc900416f835d8b0eb74832bd72f31a81e2ad67
If this is the case, click on 'Continue' (Mac OSX), 'Accept' (iPhone and iPad) or 'Connect' (Windows 8, 8.1 and 10). If this is not the case, please don't continue and contact the IT Service Desk on 020 7882 8888.
If you cannot use the eduroam CAT installer (http://www.its.qmul.ac.uk/support/self-help/networks/wifi/) and your device does not automatically connect to eduroam, you can configure your device manually.”
If you set up your device to connect here at QMUL it will automatically connect you whenever you are in an area served by eduroam.
