On this page you will learn how to integrate the eduroam WLAN manually under Windows.

However, we strongly recommend installing the configuration apps geteduroam or eduroamCAT to use eduroam!

Prerequisites

  • Valid UniAccount of the University of Kassel.
  • Functioning WLAN card or WLAN stick with WPA/WPA2 support.
  • Automatic IP address assignment (DHCP) must be activated. This is the case by default.
  • One-time installation of three certificates for the use of the WLAN.

Step-by-step installation of the certificates for "eduroam"

Please install the required certificates. Download the three .crt files for Windows.

When clicking on the root certificate, a message may appear stating that the certificate is already installed. This message is incorrect. In this case, please right-click on the relevant certificate to download and "reinstall" it.

Open your download folder and select one of the files by double-clicking on it. Select "Open" in the new window.
