If you are not using one of the operating systems listed on this page, then the following information outlines generic settings which can be used:

• SSID: The eduroam SSID (Service Set Identifier) is eduroam and is case sensitive. If you do not see this SSID then you may need to specify it manually in the Wi-Fi settings. Please refer to the remote site’s documentation.
• Encryption: Your Wi-Fi encryption settings need to be configured to use the encryption settings of the institution you are visiting e.g. WPA2 with AES. This information should be available on the website of the remote institution.
• Authentication: Your Wi-Fi authentication settings must be set to use Protected EAP (PEAP) MSCHAP v2 authentication - this dictates how your device authenticates back to Trinity
• Username and Password: When authenticating with eduroam enter your username in form username@tcd.ie and then your Trinity network login password
