If you are already on campus, you will need internet access to connect to eduroam. You can run SecureW2 by connecting to the umd-guest wireless network from the list of detected wireless networks. You can also consider using your phone's cellular data to connect that device or set up a personal hotspot to connect on computers and tablets.
NOTE: If you complete this process while off campus, you will receive a message stating the network may not be in range. Disregard the notification and click Continue to complete the process.
Run the network access tool on your device
To securely connect to eduroam and the wired network, students, faculty, and staff should run SecureW2 on the devices you are connecting. SecureW2 should be launched before connecting a device for the first time, after a Directory ID passphrase update, or a new security certificate. It's recommended to launch SecureW2 prior to coming on campus. Especially for devices such as laptops that typically don't have cellular network access.
You have the option to manually connect using your UMD credentials but you forgo the benefits of SecureW2.
