Eduroam Roaming WiFi Service

Eduroam is an international roaming service for users in research, higher education and further education. It provides researchers, teachers and students easy and secure network access when visiting an institution other than their own.

People from other eduroam compatible educational institutions are able to log into WMed's eduroam environment using their home school's login criteria. Conversely WMed faculty, staff, and students are able to log into the wireless eduroam networks at other schools using their WMed user ID and password.
