Change your settings to access the wireless network

Monash University's esolutions is making improvements to Eduroam, our secure wireless network service by consolidating to a common authentication platform.

Moving our Network Policy Services to the new infrastructure is required.

Important settings and wireless access

Network Policy Services controls access to our wireless network, its primary function is to authenticate users trying to access Monash's Eduroam wireless network. For the authentication to work a user must have a specific user name format.

Impact to users

You have been identified as possibly having an incompatible user name format. If your user name format is not changed before 21 November, 2016 wireless network access will not be possible.

What you need to do

Please go into your mobile device settings (such as smartphone, laptop or tablet etc.) and ensure that your username is changed to look like: username@monash.edu.

Help and support

A user guide specific to your device is available on the intranet providing step by step instructions on how to change your user name (https://monash.edu/esolutions/wireless-and-network/connecting-eduroam-wifi).   If you require additional support please contact your local Service Desk.
