Eduroam (education roaming) is an international educational/scientific roaming access service. It provides Internet access for all students and staff at DTU. It is the preferred way of accessing the wireless network at DTU. In the following sections, the setup of eduroam in different operating systems is described.

Beware that wired eduroam is not available at DTU.

Please note that the eduroam network name is case-sensitive, and the correct way is 'eduroam' (even though it is written with a capital E at the start of some sentences).

Alternative/Manual way to set up Android for Eduroam

The above CAT installation is the preferred method to connect to eduroam, if for some reason you can't use it then you can still connect manually.

To connect your android device to eduroam use your DTU credentials, e.g. s012345@dtu.dk, and DTU password. A connection to eduroam will automatically be made in future if Wi-Fi is switched on and you are within range. If you are not able to connect it may be due to the default configuration of your device. You can follow this instructions:

If you have already entered your user and password, press and hold on the "eduroam" select "Forget network" to start the process again.

Before entering your credentials again look for "EAP method" in the same place as you are entering the user and password and change it to PEAP. "Phase2 authentication" should be MSCHAPV2.

On older Android versions some menus and wording may be different.

Press and hold on the "eduroam" net and two options will appear, press forget to start the process again.

Tap to set the Sub-type of PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2 if you have the option, but this ought to be the default.

Now you can enter your DTU credentials again and tap connect.

Troubleshooting

If you are able to obtain an IP, but not able to access any websites, please see the troubleshooting section for wireless. It also applies to eduroam. The DNS settings are usually to blame for this. They need to be set to automatic.

If you have any issues connecting to eduroam please contact AIT.
