Eduroam is a worldwide service for Internet access for institutes of education and science and their employees and students.

In order to use eduroam it is required to have an eduroam compatible, valid account with one of the participating institutions. The accounts of the GWDG (employees and students of the university) and of the Max-Planck-Institute are eduroam compatible.

The Wi-Fi network eduroam is available alongside GoeMobile. In general it can be used everywhere where GoeMobile is also available (except for the University clinic). The eduroam Wi-Fi network uses eduroam for authentication of users, implements an encrypted radio connection (WPA2) and thus is also the recommended alternative for users from the university and the Max-Planck-Institute versus the unencrypted access via the WebPortal or to the additional encryption using VPN.

You can find instructions for setting up eduroam on your computer on the webpages of the GWDG.
