How do I connect to eduroam and EWUSecure on my Chromebook or Android?
For connecting to either eduroam or EWUSecure, you will need to make certain settings changes on your Chromebook. The settings you will need to change (shown later in this article) will be the same between the two networks, however, the login information you will use will be different.
eduroam is a federated network access service developed for universities and colleges around the world to share internet access. When you travel to a university that is a member of eduroam, you can join the 'eduroam' wi-fi network and use encrypted internet access for free. To learn more about eduroam, check out our FAQ.
