Windows 10 / 11
These instructions explain how to connect a Windows 10 or 11 computer to the eduroam wireless network.
Tip: You can access this site from on campus, including from a dedicated network for performing initial configuration of your device. To connect to this special network, choose network name WFCG-Setup and enter the username/password of connectme when prompted.
Connecting to eduroam
- Download and run the Windows 10 Eduroam setup wizard. You may be prompted to accept a number of changes to your system, it is important to allow all these changes to be made.
- As part of the installation, you will be asked for a username and password:
Your username is your College username with @windsor-forest.ac.uk on the end (e.g. 123456@windsor-forest.ac.uk).
The password is your College password. - Once installation has completed, choose eduroam from the list of Wi-Fi networks on your computer.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot connect/browse, check that:
- The wireless functionality in your computer is enabled.
- You are at a location with good signal strength.
- You have remembered to add @windsor-forest.ac.uk to the end of your username.
- You are typing your College password correctly.
- You have installed all available driver updates for your Wi-Fi adapter and all applicable Windows Updates.
These instructions will only work if you have a WFCG username - if you are from a different organisation, you will need to refer to your home organisation for the correct instructions.
