eduroam, the University's free Wi-Fi service is available across all of our campuses and in Halls of Residence.
It's free to join and once you have configured your phone, tablet or laptop, it can be used at other universities that use eduroam.
Connecting to eduroam is easy, but please ensure you log in with your University username followed by "@soton.ac.uk", e.g. ab1c15@soton.ac.uk.
All staff and students can connect to eduroam and if you are on the go across campus, your Wi-Fi connection will move with you. If you lose connection between sites, you will automatically be reconnected as soon as you get back in range.
You can use the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool to configure your device to get connected or if you prefer, some simple instructions for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets are below.
