Change to Eduroam connection - Monday 2 March

Connection to eduroam wireless network will change from Monday 2nd March

What is happening?

From Monday 2 March 2015, you must append @abdn.ac.uk to your username when connecting to eduroam, e.g. abc123@abdn.ac.uk, s01ab1@abdn.ac.uk, u01ab1@abdn.ac.uk, etc.

Note: Your username is what you use to login to University networked PCs (e.g. classroom or office desktop PCs). It is not your email address.

What should you do?

If you initially set up your eduroam connection using the XpressConnect automatic configuration wizard, you don’t need to do anything. Your username will already be set up correctly.

If you did not use XpressConnect, or if you have since altered the eduroam connection, then we recommend you set up your eduroam connection again. We strongly recommend that you do that now rather than wait until the switchover on Monday. Use XpressConnect and make sure your username is in the format username@abdn.ac.uk

    • You’ll find a link to XpressConnect on our wireless web page at www.abdn.ac.uk/wireless/       - or via the ‘wireless help’ service.
