Eduroam for Windows: Getting connected

After changing your Carleton Password

Off Campus

• Use the "Setting up a new connection" instructions below. You'll be able to do everything but the very last step, and then your computer will connect to the eduroam network when you next arrive on campus.

On Campus

When your computer next attempts to connect to eduroam it may not automatically prompt you for your new password, and may instead just try and try to connect. If this happens:

1. Disconnect your wifi if it is connected (click on the wifi icon near your computer's clock and select Disconnect for the eduroam network)
2. Connect your wifi network again
3. Log in using your full Carleton email address and your new password

Setting up a new connection

1. If possible, Forget any previous version of the eduroam WiFi connection on your device

2. Connect your device to the Carleton Guest wireless network or connect to the wired ethernet network

3. Go to the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

4. Click the blue button that says Click here to download your eduroam installer

5. When asked to select your Home Institution, choose Carleton College

6. Click the blue button to download the installer for your specific device

5. Once downloaded, run the installer. When prompted, enter the following information:

   • Username: enter your full Carleton email address e.g. fschiller@carleton.edu

   • Password: enter your regular Carleton password.

6. Click on the Install button. Your device will warn you about trusting a new type of certificate.  This is expected and should only happen the first time you run the installer on a particular device.

7. Finally, once the installer has finished its work, connect your device to the eduroam wireless network and it should connect automatically.
