The easiest way of configuring your the eduroam WiFi network is the eduroam configuration assistant tool (https://cat.eduroam.org/).
If you want to configure your network manually, please follow this guide.
Before you can configure the network on your device, you need to create eduroam login data for it. A guide to that process can be found here.
Please note that user names created using the eduroam device manager use different suffixes based on your organisation:
- members of the RWTH get user names ending in @rwth.edufi.de
- members of FZ Jülich get user names ending in @fzj.edufi.de

If you are not, click on "view certificate details" By clicking "connect", you can now complete your first-time setup. This is necessary in order to access the configuration of your network.
