Ðǿմ«Ã½ Moving to Eduroam as Wi-Fi Network Name

July 22, 2017

St. Ðǿմ«Ã½ is moving to eduroam as our primary WIFI network name.  Ðǿմ«Ã½-Guest will continue to be available for guests without eduroam.
 
Currently at Ðǿմ«Ã½ you can connect to either eduroam or Ðǿմ«Ã½-Secure.  These two names are associated to the exact same network and they provide the exact same speeds, privacy and security.  Because they are identical we are simplifying our WIFI environment by dropping Ðǿմ«Ã½-Secure.  We are keeping eduroam as it allows Ðǿմ«Ã½ faculty, staff and students to take their devices to other universities and instantly get a secure WIFI connection.  Many universities are making this same decision.
 
There is no loss of security, privacy or speed with this change as both eduroam and Ðǿմ«Ã½-Secure are names for the exact same network. This does not affect your password. Your current password works with both eduroam and Ðǿմ«Ã½-Secure. However, you must include the @stu.ca with your user id when logging into eduroam.  This way as you roam to different participating institutions eduroam knows @stu.ca is your home.
 
We are looking to turn off Ðǿմ«Ã½-Secure at 12:30 PM on Monday June 25, 2018.
 
Please take the time to switch your wireless connections on your laptop, phone and other devices to eduroam.  This will ensure no interruption in your WIFI access.
 
If you would like a hand connecting to eduroam, call ITS at 452-0635, email us at helpdesk@stu.ca or drop by and see us in JDH 207 and we would be glad to help.
