Overview

Eduroam - ECU's primary wireless network

ECU’s primary wireless network, eduroam (education roaming), is a secure and encrypted network connection for your wireless devices. Onboard (register) a device once, and you have wireless access for four years on ECU’s campus as well as wherever eduroam is available.

For example, an NCSU professor who visits the ECU campus can join the ECU eduroam network using their NCSU credentials. Many institutions are now members, including several other UNC institutions. See this US map for current participating institutions.

Eduroam is compatible with the following operating systems: Android, Chrome OS, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows. NOT compatible: Windows mobile, Blackberry and Nokia

• Faculty, staff and students should onboard each personal mobile device and/or ECU-owned Mac laptop.

• ECU-owned Windows devices that log into the INTRA domain are already enrolled.

• ECU-managed multiple user devices should follow the ECU MDM instructions. When prompted, please select the group “ECU Owned Multiple Users.”

• Visitors with eduroam access from another institution can connect to eduroam using their institution’s credentials.

• Visitors with no eduroam access or PirateID require a sponsored guest account.
