Connect your mobile device to the University wireless network
The University of St Andrews data network can be accessed from compatible wireless-enabled devices by way of eduroam. Eduroam (EDUcation ROAMing) is the roaming infrastructure used by the international research and education community that provides the eduroam user experience. More information on the eduroam services is available from the eduroam web site
Being part of eduroam allows users to access a wireless network at a participating visited institution simply using the same credentials (for instance, username and password) the users would use if they were at their home institution.
Examples of compatible devices
- Apple iPhone 5/4S/4
- Apple iPad, iPad II, iPad 3rd Generation
- Android OS smartphones (Android 2.1 or later)
- Some Windows Mobile devices
