eduroam - connect to wifi
Our superfast wifi network, eduroam, is now available throughout our campuses. You'll also find eduroam in different places across the globe and can use your @dundee.ac.uk login to get free wifi wherever you find it
If you’re using a personal or non-managed Apple macOS laptop or desktop (non-iOS), you need to have installed the 802.1x-eduroam-wifi-profile on your computer first.
Connect your device
- Go to your wifi settings, via your settings app or wifi icon in your notification bar, menu bar or task bar
- Choose eduroam
- Enter your full username and University password (on android devices you'll need to configure a few more settings, see below)
- Accept the certificate request
- You're connected
If you have a username that doesn’t include your ID number (students) or end with a number (staff), make sure you enter it correctly.

Printers, consoles, and streaming
If you've got a wireless printer, games console, or streaming device in our residences, you should connect these to the StudentResidences network.
If you change your password, your device should prompt you to put in your new password. If it doesn't, try forgetting the wifi network and following the instructions again for connecting
If you're using macOS, including University managed devices, you'll need to update your keychain when you update your password.
