Support
Support for eduroam, no matter where you are, is supplied by your home institution. Western users connecting to any eduroam site while visiting a partner institution should contact the Helpdesk for assistance. Visitors at Western who are using eduroam to connect to our wireless network should contact their institution's IT support team.
Setup
The eduroam wireless network at Western supports mix mode of WPA with TKIP encryption or WPA2 with AES encryption. A compatible wireless card with updated drivers and patches for your operating system may be required.
WTS recommends that Western faculty, staff and students set up and test their computers at Western first to make sure that they work before travelling to the partner institution.
Once it is set up, you will have wireless access to any eduroam-enabled institution in the world.
