Automatic setup #

NTNU has a program that will automatically set up Eduroam for you. This program works for Windows 7, Windows XP, Linux Ubuntu, Mac OS X and iPhone. The program will know which operating system you are using. If the program fails please follow the steps below to connect to Eduroam.

Manual connect for Mac OS X #

Step 1:

To connect to the wireless internet at NTNU you need to either be on campus or some areas in town so your machine can find the network called Eduroam. Click on the wireless symbol in the top right corner. If Airport is turned off, turn it on in the same menu. Choose Eduroam from the list.
