Visiting Bristol

Visitors from any other eduroam participating organisation will be able to use eduroam at Bristol. Visitors should note the following key points:

• You must follow your own organisation’s eduroam setup instructions – The Bristol instructions will only work for Bristol users
• Try to set-up eduroam on your computer at your home organisation before coming to Bristol. This way it will be easier to liaise with your IT support team, if needed.
• The name of the wireless network (SSID) for eduroam at Bristol is eduroam
• The encryption scheme is WPA2 with AES. If your home organisation uses WPA/TKIP, you will need to set your computer to use WPA2/AES while at Bristol.
• Eduroam is available at all Bristol wireless locations.
• Please abide by Bristol’s AUPs as well as those of your home organisation, and JANET when using the service at Bristol.
• You should contact your home organisation if you need help or support while using eduroam at Bristol. However you can contact the Bristol Wireless Team by emailing wireless-help@YAYbristol.ac.uk if needed.
