Nota bene

Following an update this summer, it is possible that eduroam may no longer work on some computers due to incompatibility with the new security settings.

A reinstallation of the eduroam UGA client via https://cat.eduroam.org/ (see documentation) may solve some incidents, however, the service may no longer work on computers with operating systems prior to Windows 8, High Sierra (macOS 10.13) and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
In case of difficulties, you can contact IT assistance.

Before reinstalling eduroam, be sure to uninstall the previous version of your computer.
If reinstalling eduroam does not work, only updating the operating system can solve the problem. If you are unable to update your OS, you can use the wifi-campus service (in addition to the VPN if you wish, for added security).
