Get ready to use eduroam

To get started using eduroam, download the installer for your operating system and 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, something is wrong. If the page loads, your computer is setup for eduroam and you can go back to your normal wireless network (SOU Wireless, SOU-Secure) to resume browsing the internet.

Click 'Yes' to confirm that you are a member of Southern Oregon University.

In the next window you will be asked for a userid. Your userid is your full SOU email address, e.g. 'username@sou.edu'.

In the next window you will be asked for a password. Use your SOU login password as you would for InsideSOU, Gmail, Moodle, etc.

Enter your SOU login password again.

 Click 'OK' to close the installer. You should now be able to select 'eduroam' in your list of wireless networks.
