eduroam
eduroam, or EDUcation ROAMing, is a WiFi (Wireless LAN) roaming arrangement among member institutions around the world. With eduroam, students and staff of a member institution, can make use of the credentials provided by their home institution to log on to the WiFi of another institution which is also a member of eduroam.
Who can use it?
eduroam is available to Staff and Students.
It is also available to visitors from other eduroam participating institutions.
How do I get it?
For NUS Staff or Students visiting other eduroam
institutions:
You can connect to participating institutions’
WiFi network with your NUS-ID, after going through a one-time configuration
on the client device. Do take note that the username must be in the form of
NUS-ID@nus.edu.sg, with @nus.edu.sg appended after your NUS-ID. Do not
use your friendly email address.
For visitors from other eduroam institutions
visiting NUS:
You can connect to NUS WiFi service pervasively throughout the NUS campus using a compatible device with the standard eduroam client setup:
- The device should support IEEE 802.11 a/g/n standards (the slower 802.11b standard has been phased out in NUS).
- The device should be configured with WPA2-Enterprise authentication and AES data encryption. The legacy WPA/TKIP configuration is not supported in NUS.
If you are not sure of the setup, please refer to your home institution technical assistance for help.
