About two months ago, ITS made the switch from the DUStudent wireless network to eduroam. How’s eduroam working for you? Are you having any wireless network coverage issues? Connection problems in your room? Or your classroom? Let us know.

Report any issues connecting to eduroam by submitting a Wireless Network Issue report in our service portal. By letting us know where you’re having issues and what device you’re using, our ITS staff can work on adjusting access points and other tweaks to improve the network.

And don’t forget as you travel over winter break or J-Term that you may be able to take eduroam with you and connect wirelessly at your destination.

Learn more about the eduroam wireless network at www.drake.edu/its/eduroam.
