Eduroam auto configuration

Eduroam must be setup with specific wireless settings. You can download a customized setup file for various operating systems from this site:

https://cat.eduroam.org

Click the button "eduroam user" at the bottom of the page

An institution list will show: choose "Technical University of Denmark"

A list of different operating systems is shown: choose the OS that corresponds to the OS on your computer or phone

Depending on the OS you choose, a customized setup file or app will be downloaded (i.e. an .exe file for Windows, an .sh for Linux etc.)

Run the setup file and eduroam settings will be set up automatically. You will be asked for your username and password for your DTU account during setup. The username MUST be your full e-mail address user@dtu.dk. If you do not add @dtu.dk, the setup will not work outside DTU.

Note: For Linux it is preferable and easy to setup manually, see here.
