Penn State Wireless

Beginning April 1, Penn State is replacing the psu wireless network with eduroam as the University’s primary network. The existing psu network will be retired on June 30.

Service Status

For Students

eduroam

All devices, including computers, tablets, and smartphones, must be connected to the eduroam network and reconfigured to support the new authentication method. If devices such as TVs, game consoles, and smart speakers cannot connect to eduroam, they will need to be connected to the new wireless network, psu-personal.

roomgear

The roomgear network in the residence halls will be replaced by psu-personal on June 30. If your device is registered on the roomgear network, it will automatically work on psu-personal, a supplemental network for devices that do not support the eduroam network’s authentication.

For Faculty and Staff

eduroam

Staff and faculty will need to connect University-provided devices to the eduroam network prior to June 30. IT units and endpoint management teams should prepare to configure Penn State devices for the eduroam network’s new authentication method. After June 30, the old authentication method will stop working for eduroam. Any devices that have not been updated will not be able to connect to the eduroam network.
