Accessing wi-fi (Eduroam)

In order to remain on line anywhere within the University campus you’ll need to access our free Wi-fi service, Eduroam. The first time you do this you’ll need to be on campus. 

The easiest way to connect to Eduroam is by using the Eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT) at https://cat.eduroam.org/ following the instructions below.

Visitors to the university can connect to our LJMU_Guest WiFi via these instructions.

LJMU Guest – for visitors to the University

The LJMU_Guest Wi-Fi network is provided for the use of visitors to the University. This is a service provided by Sky and anyone visiting LJMU can use it.

LJMU Staff and Students should use Eduroam, which can support a much higher volume of users.

There is no need to make any prior arrangements for your visitors to use LJMU_Guest. They should simply connect to the network LJMU_Guest on arrival and fill in the simple self-registration web page that they will be presented with.

Please note:
Visitors from other universities that offer Eduroam can connect to the service at LJMU buildings with the same credentials that they use in their home institution.
