eduroam WiFi access in Mac OS
Please make sure that you have at least one of the three latest macOS versions installed.

5. Enter the log in data of your University account and confirm with „Next“.
6. You will be instructed to enter your computer password. Enter the password and confirm with „OK“.
7. Click on „Done“ to finish the installation.
Eduroam is now configured. You are connected to the eduroam WiFi.
Troubleshooting
If you have an existing connection, but still no access to the Internet, it is recommended to delete the DNS server entries.
To do this, go to "Network" under System Settings and select the profile you want to connect to (Eduroam profile). Then go to "More options". There you will find the category "DNS" in the tab. Go there and delete all "DNS server entries" found on the left side with the "-" symbol at the bottom of the list. Finally, click on "Apply" if there are any. (Restarting the Mac may be necessary in some circumstances).
If the problem persists, delete the Eduroam profile as described above and restart the setup using the instructions.
