To use Eduroam, you need to install it on your devices: Smartphones, tablets and laptops.
If you are using a PC supplied by AU with Windows 10, you don’t need to install eduroam yourself. All you need to do is connect to eduroam and enter your user name and password as described below. The rest has already been set up for you.
January 3, 2019, we changed the certificate to our eduroam validation. This does not prevent from connecting to eduroam "IF" so you have fully completed this guide. If not then just set up eduroam again. This can be done at home from own internet and does not require you to be at AU.
It is important to run the setup program, as it ensures a better protection of your user name and password due to the installed certificate.
To find your AU ID you need to log on to mit.au.dk
If you need wireless network for guests or for research equipment without screen where login is not possible, you can find more information on Staff service.
