Wifi and internet access

Students and staff

The university wireless network is called eduroam. You should use eduroam rather than the guest wifi or a mobile network.

Connect a personal device on campus

Eduroam can be used on most electronic devices, including phones, laptops and tablets.

1. Download the geteduroam app
   a. Apple store: geteduroam app
   b. Google play store: geteduroam app
   c. Windows laptop: geteduroam app
2. Type in University of Bristol
3. Select eduroam
4. Enter your University email address and password.

We recommend you keep the geteduroam app on your device. If you uninstall the app, you may need to download again to get online.

Your University device will be set up to connect to the network automatically.
