Get ready to use eduroam

To get started using eduroam, follow the instructions below. After completing the instructions, connect to the eduroam wireless network here on campus and go to http://eduroamtest.sou.edu. (If you can't load the page, try again in Safari's private browsing mode. There is a known issue that sometimes prevents the test page from loading unless Safari is in private browsing mode.) If the page loads, your Apple device is setup for eduroam and you can go back to your normal wireless network (SOU Wireless) to resume browsing the internet.

 Assisted Setup (Recommended)

Navigate to https://cat.eduroam.org/?idp=662 on your iOS device and follow the instructions for connecting your iOS device to eduroam.
