How do I set up my WiFi?

The best way to configure your WLAN Access by using the geteduroam-App from SURF or the older application Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT) from Geant.

The security settings (certificates and host name of the authentication server) are set automatically.

Please use the „eduroam“ profile. In case of problems with Smartphones alternatively you may use the profile „eduroam – TTLS-PAP preferred“ or profile "eduroam (without wire-connected-network)“ for Windows-Laptops.

Enter the following data for using WiFi:

Username: <login name of WiFi account>, e.g. mj30xoxolan00@tu-darmstadt.de
Password: <Password to WiFi account>

In case the automatic configuration with the tool does not work or you use a WLAN guest account, you can also set up the access manually. Here you can find instructions on how to do this.

When setting up visitor access manually, the field “external identity / anonymous username” must remain empty.

Guest accesses can be set up independently by TU Darmstadt staff members by use of the according IDM portal:
