Connect to eduroam

Overview

eduroam is a worldwide access service that allows individuals from member institutions to connect to wireless networks at other member institutions. Connect to eduroam using your login credentials provided to you by your home institution. More information about eduroam and a list of participating institutions can be found at the eduroam website.

eduroam provides general Internet access for those connected to it. If you need to access resources at Texas A&M Transportation Institute or other institutions that are protected by a network firewall or are otherwise not directly accessible from the internet, you need to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution provided to you by your home institution. To access TTI network resources such as file shares you must either be connected to ethernet at a TTI office, TTI_WiFi or the TTI VPN.

This article is for Texas A&M Transportation Institute users with a TTI network account (username@tti.tamu.edu) for instructions on how to connect to eduroam using your Texas A&M University NetID (NetID@tamu.edu) check out their eduroam support article.
