What is eduroam

Eduroam is the main wireless network on the UCLL campuses. Other educational and research institutions also participate in the Eduroam project. See www.eduroam.be for more information. You have to install eduroam once, which has some important advantages:

  • you stay logged in,
  • faster,
  • more secure,
  • available on all UCLL campuses and far beyond.

3 things before you start...

  1. Your login for eduroam is your gebruikersnaam@ucll.be (e.g. r0123456@ucll.be), not your email address.

  1. What operating system and version am I using?
    You can check this via this website.
     

  2. I see multiple wifi networks on campus, which one should I use?
    On the intranet you will find an overview of our wifi networks, eduroam is the primary network. If you have a UCLL account this network is preferred.
     

  3. I am connected to Eduroam but I have no internet access, I can't surf?
    Make sure you use static DNS servers. To use eduroam it is necessary that your DNS servers are set to "automatic".
     

  4. I did the installation but I can't connect?
    The installation tool does not check if your username and password are correct. If you are in doubt, you may perform the installation again indefinitely. Still having problems? Please contact ICT support.
