Windows 10/11 (or previous versions) Wi-Fi Setup - Eduroam

If the simple setup options for Windows 10 or 11 did not work for you, or you have an older version of Windows, follow these steps to connect to Eduroam:

From the Start menu, select or search for Control Panel and then Network and Sharing Centre.

Select Set up a new Connection or Network and then Manually connect to a wireless network and click Next.

Enter the Network name as eduroam.
From the Security drop down, select WPA2-Enterprise and ensure the Encryption type drop down is set to AES.
When this is done, click Next.

Click Change connection settings.
Click on the Security tab along the top of the window.
Click the Settings button.
Ensure Validate server certificate is checked.
Scroll down to put a check next to NSCC CA.
If you don't see NSCC CA as an option, uncheck Validate server certificate.

Click the Configure ... button.
Uncheck the Automatically use my Windows logon name and password option.

Click OK, then OK again.

Check Remember my credentials for this connection each time I'm logged on.
(don't do this if you are using a shared computer as it will automatically log any user of this computer onto eduroam using your credentials).

Click the Advanced settings button.

Check the box labelled Specify authentication mode.

From the dropdown list beneath it, select User authentication.
Then click the Save credentials button.

In the box that appears, enter your NSCC login username.
This will be in the form: w#######@campus.nscc.ca

Enter the same password as you use at NSCC and click OK.

Click OK to the Advanced settings window, then finally OK to close the eduroam Wireless Connection properties window.

If you get this popup,click Connect. This will add the certificate needed to ensure your connection is secure.

You should now be ready to connect to the eduroam wireless network.

In order to test this, left click on the Wireless Networks icon in the Taskbar.

If all has gone well, the eduroam network will be listed as Connected.
