Guests use public WiFi with ClarksonUniversity

The ClarksonUniversity network is available with no authentication for general and guest network access. However performance on this network will be limited, and since it is open, it is NOT considered secure. Only use this network to connect to eduroam CAT, or if your device cannot use eduroam.

Tips

  • The CAT (Configuration Assistant Tool) is required in order to connect to eduroam. This allows eduroam to install the certificates needed to validate the eduroam SSID and authentication servers.
  • You must provide your username as: username@clarkson.edu when prompted. If you do not include @clarkson.edu, eduroam will not work. This is because eduroam has more participants than just Clarkson, so it needs to know which university to authenticate against.

Features of eduroam: 

  • Encrypted, secure connection with assurance you are really connecting to Clarkson's network
  • Connect to your building's network
  • Access on-campus resources
  • Priority access to the Internet
  • Access devices you have in your on-campus office or residence from anywhere on campus
  • Quick access at other participating eduroam universities.
