  UNT Wireless Configuration

  The UNT network offers two main benefits over Eaglenet. First, the UNT network has increased security providing encryption. Second, it avoids going through a log-in portal to access the wireless network.

  Password Characters

  The UNT network does not allow either a "%" or "?" in the password field. If you have either of those in your UNT password you will need to set a new password at ams.unt.edu.

  Eduroam

  Eduroam allows UNT students, faculty, and staff to connect to wireless networks at other participating Universities using UNT Credentials. While you may see the Eduroam network name on campus, it is recommended that UNT students, faculty, and staff use either the Eaglenet or UNT SSID.
  
  Set-up Instructions and Additional Information

  Eduroam Support

  The UIT Helpdesk will support UNT students, faculty, and staff with access to Eduroam. We advice you verify Eduroam connectivity before leaving UNT and traveling to a participating University. If you are visiting UNT from another University your first point of contact will be your University's Helpdesk.

  Helpdesk Support

  The UIT Helpdesk will help unt students, faculty, and staff connect to the wireless network on non-UNT computers. If you are a faculty or staff member having difficulty connecting to wireless on a UNT owned device we do recommend you first contact your Distributed Support Group (Netman).
  The UIT Helpdesk can provide limited support in connecting your device to the EagleNet or UNT wireless system. If it is determined that the nature of the issue is beyond our support capabilites, the Helpdesk may refer users to a professional computer support company, as we do not provide personal computer support.
