Windows 10: Connecting to Eduroam

I have always had difficulties remembering how to configure the Eduroam Wi-Fi network on a windows device (Android or Windows Phone is very easy.) Below is a guide detailing how using picture. Note this is essentially the same content as the guide provided by Uppsala University.

Note: This guide presumes you are using Windows 10, if you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8 the steps are similar, apart from getting to Network and Sharing Centre (Steps 1 - 3). The very last step (step 19) might also differ.

1. Open settings (Win+I)

   

2. Press Network & Internet

3. Under the Status tab, scroll down and press Network and Sharing Centre

   

4. Press Set up a new connection or network

   

5. Choose Manually connect to a wireless network and press Next

   

6. Enter/Select the following:

   Network name:  eduroam
   Security type:  WPA2-Enterprise
   Start this connection automatically:  Yes
   Connect even if the network is not broadcasting:  No
   

7. Press Next

   

8. Press Change connection settings

   

9. Change to the Security tab

   

10. Under Choose a network authentication method select Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP) and press Settings

    

11. Select Verify the server’s identity by validating the certificate

    

12. Enter/Select the following:

    Connect to these servers:  Yes
    Server name (for Uppsala University):  radiusauth.uu.se
    Trusted Root Certification Authorities:  DigiCert Assured ID Root CA
    Select Authentication Method: Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)
    Enable Fast Reconnect:  No
    

    Press Configure…

13. De-select Automatically use my windows log-on name and password (and domain if any). and press OK)

    

14. Press OK

    

15. Press Advanced settings

    

16. Select Specify authentication mode

    

17. Select User authentication and press Save credentials

    

18. A popup will show requiring entrance of credentials, enter following:

    Username: Your UU username (aabb1122) followed by @user.uu.se
    Password: Your UU password B (Lösenord B)
    

19. Press OK

    

20. Press OK

    

21. Press OK

    

22. Press Close

    

23. For me the device automatically connected to the network at this point. If your device does not do this, press the network icon in the task tray (usually bottom right). Select eduroam and Connect automatically. Lastly press Connect

    

24. Congratulations, you should now be connected to the eduroam network
