NBIP Computing: eduroam setup

This guide helps NBI staff setup personal devices to use the eduroam Wi-Fi network (with NBI as home organisation).

This guide does NOT work for Non-NBI staff. Non-NBI staff should seek guidance from their home organisation.

By using eduroam you agree to the eduroam acceptable use policy (AUP)

You should be an Administrator of the device and know how to connect, disconnect and forget (remove) wi-fi networks.

Before continuing

Remove any pre-existing eduroam configuration.
Remove any other NBI Wi-Fi networks: guest, nbiconf and NBI Events.

For authorised UEA users in the Centrum and QI Building only, please click on the button below to access the UEA eduroam setup system.
Please remove the wireless network eduroam setup at the end of the setup process.

Your eduroam identity and password is:

Identity: @nbi.ac.uk
Password: Your_NBI_Password
(This is always your current password used to login to an NBI computer or your e-mail.)

You will now be taken to 'one-time' setup instructions for your device - these will detail where you use your eduroam identity and password.
