My wireless You can connect your laptop or wireless enabled device via one of our wireless hot-spots around both Durham City and Queen’s Campus. Make sure you’ve configured your device for the wireless network following the right instructions for the operating system (e.g. Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8, Mac OS X or Android). Use the ‘DU Wireless’ option: Instructions as to how to connect are in our web pages and you’ll need to supply your username and password as part of the authentication process: www.durham.ac.uk/cis/wireless
Need to know: • You can connect to our network via a wired network point in your study bedroom or wirelessly elsewhere • To access the Internet in your bedroom, your machine needs to go through our network security scan (Quarantine) before the start of every term • You can access our wireless network via hotspots located around the University; the ‘DU Wireless’ connection is the most secure
Internet access at other Universities: eduroam The educational roaming access service is available at Durham and it gives you Internet access at member universities and institutions (in 40 countries) with your login details. It’s free and totally secure. Before you travel to other eduroam member institutions, you’ll need to set up your laptop or mobile device according to the relevant operating system it uses (e.g. Windows, Mac or Linux). Check the published settings for the institution you’re going to be visiting.
