Troubleshooting: 

If you are having difficulties removing the wireless profile, clearing all settings related to eduroam and starting over may be helpful.  The easiest way to do this is the following.

  1. Press "Windows key + r" to open a run dialog box

  2. Type "cmd" and press enter.

  3. Paste in the following command:

    netsh wlan delete profile name="eduroam"
  4. Now the profile has been deleted, and you can start over. 


If you still cannot connect to the eduroam network, please follow these steps to ensure your wireless driver is up-to-date.

  1. Upgrade your version of Windows to the most recent release. This can be done within Windows Update.

    1. Windows 10 should be version 22H2 or later

    2. Window 11 should be version 23H2 or later

  2. Download and install the newest wireless network card drivers from the network manufacturer’s website, not from within Windows Update. 

    1. Determine the make and model of the network card by finding it in the Network Adapters folder inside the Device Manager, for example, Intel AX210.

    2. Search Google for that exact make and model to download an updated driver. For example, Intel AX210 Windows 10 driver

    3. Download and install the new driver.

    4. Reboot.
