To avoid losing wireless connectivity on Thursday, December 12, you need to run the Eduroam setup utility on your laptop, smartphone, and/or tablet. The security certificate for Eduroam wireless will change, and the Eduroam setup utility is the most reliable way to configure the new certificate on your device.

To maintain access to the eduroam network, follow these steps:

Open a browser from an existing network (eduroam, ND-Guest, wired, home, etc.)
Download the eduroam utility at eduroam.nd.edu
Follow the instructions to run the eduroam utility
For additional details, go to this knowledgebase article.

Repeat these steps for all of your devices (laptops, smartphones, and tablets)

If you do not run the utility before December 12, your devices may no longer connect to the eduroam network. Note: Many IT services are not accessible when connected to ND-Guest, including Banner, Remote Apps, CorpFS, SharePoint, GLez, PeopleEZ, Business Objects, and others. To restore access to the eduroam network after December 12, follow the steps above.

If you have any questions, please contact your departmental IT support staff, or the OIT Help Desk at 574-631-8111, oithelp@nd.edu or chat online at: https://help.nd.edu.
