ICT Services will switch the University’s main Wi-Fi access over to eduroam on Thursday 1st June 2017.
This switch over is being made to help ensure that we provide you with a more streamlined and higher quality wireless service across the campus.
If you currently have any devices connected to the University Wi-Fi via “UoL – Wireless” or any another access point, please ensure you change your settings to connect through “eduroam” to avoid loss of connectivity.
You can connect easily by choosing “eduroam” in your device’s wireless settings, and logging in using your usual University of Lincoln email and password.
You do not need to wait until 1st June to change your device settings as eduroam is available now.
The benefits of using eduroam include:
- “eduroam” (education roaming) is the secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community.
- Having started in Europe, eduroam is now available in 72 territories across the world.
- eduroam allows students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to quickly and easily obtain internet connectivity across campus, and when visiting other participating institutions.
- eduroam is also available in a variety of public spaces including libraries and hospitals.
- As a member of the University of Lincoln, you can access any of their hotspots for free, simply by using your University of Lincoln email and password to login.
