Manuals

Prerequisites

Before setting it up, please ensure that:

  • an internet connection is available for the initial set-up (e.g. home network or mobile network),
  • you have a TU Darmstadt Wi-Fi account,
  • and you know the corresponding password.

Important: Please use your Wi-Fi account for eduroam. Your TU ID or email address are not suitable for this purpose.

Wi-Fi accounts are created and managed via the IDM portal. Further information can be found in the guide to creating and managing personal Wi-Fi accounts (PDF file) (opens in new tab).

Configure WiFi

We recommend setting up the connection using the geteduroam-App. It will guide you safely through the configuration process and automatically configure all the necessary settings. As an alternative to the geteduroam app, you can use the Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT).

Manual configuration for Wi-Fi access is not supported.
