Preparing your device for Campus WiFi
The University's primary wireless network is eduroam. All campus buildings, including student residences, offer wireless internet access. You can find more information about our network here: https://www.northwestern.edu/network/ . Setting up your computer for eduroam will also give you Wi-Fi access on your computer at any eduroam-enabled institution, which includes many universities worldwide.
Below, you can find links that explain how to prepare your devices to connect to WiFI before you arrive on campus. If you are configuring your device after arriving on campus, you can also choose “eduroam-setup” in the list of available networks. Cellular coverage is widely available on campus, and student residences are specially equipped to enhance the signals from cellular service providers.
