City provides a secure and pervasive wireless network available all across campus.
Eduroam Wi-Fi is easy to configure and connect to and allows you to access the internet from your mobile device or personal laptop.
The simplest and most secure way to connect to eduroam Wi-Fi is to download the eduroam CAT (Configuration Assistance Tool). This ensures a secure and smooth set up that will work most effectively.
We additionally provide guidance for manual eduroam setup at the bottom of this page. But this method is less secure than using the Eduroam CAT tool.
If after following the instructions you are still having issues, please follow the steps for resetting your Eduroam certificate, as if you have used Eduroam before, at another institution, this may need to be done.
