Step-by-step guide for installing Eduroam on MacOS devices



 

 ### Two ways to set up Wi-Fi

Choose the appropriate installation method below based on your situation:

- **With internet access**: You already have access to a network, for example via your home Wi-Fi, a guest network, or a previous Eduroam setup.
- **Without internet access**: You are on campus but do not yet have Wi-Fi or network access.

Follow the instructions that match your situation to connect to Eduroam quickly and securely.



 

 

 

 

  ## You have an internet connection

## Step 5: Add @ucll.be to your username

You may receive a message at this stage indicating that Eduroam is already in use if you’ve previously connected to the network.
