The solution: Use eduroam (education roaming), FGCU's wireless network for students, faculty, and staff. It's a secure, worldwide roaming access service for the international research and education community.

In today's issue, we cover all things eduroam to understand the benefits and reasons for using the system and why to switch over to it if you haven't already. Don't settle for less, when eduroam gets you there faster and more securely.

Why use eduroam:
At FGCU, eduroam provides a better user experience with faster speeds and higher security standards than using the 'fgcu-campus' wireless network.

Where it's available:
The eduroam service allows you to connect to WiFi when on campus and at thousands of participating institutions worldwide. To find a local eduroam hotspot near you visit eduroam's dynamic hotspot finder service or download the eduroam companion apps for Android and iOS.

When to connect:
Once installed on your device, a good practice is to always connect to eduroam when on campus for an overall improved WiFi experience, encryption, and better security. Do know that when using an FGCU device, you will be connected automatically.
