Wi-Fi service

Eduroam

The wifi service is available to all internal users and to external users who are members of Eduroam, an international federation of universities and research institutions.

Thanks to Eduroam, we can use our University credentials to access the wifi service when visiting one of its member universities, and our guests can do the same.

Eduroam provides fast and secure access to all the services of the University network from personal mobile devices.

Reporting network problems

Read the section "Detailed information", then collect all useful data to report the incident (your @unimi email, the type of device you are using) and write a message via:

Non-member guests

Institutions hosting non-member users for some time can assign their guests temporary accounts on the Eduroam network. The institution will appoint an internal delegate and open a request on SPOC (Single Point of Contact). The wifi service will provide the delegate with the tools to create, edit, cancel temporary accounts.

The delegate will provide the guest with the login credentials ([email protected]) required to access Eduroam. Guest users should change their password when they first log in.

Users of @wifi.unimi.it temporary accounts can only access the Eduroam network within the University.
