Wireless Service

The University wireless service is available to students, staff and visitors in locations across both our Durham and Stockton campuses and the service you connect to will differ depending on who you are.

To access University wireless:

1. Go to your device's wireless settings and select the right option for you:

I'm...	Wireless service to use
An Undergraduate or Taught Postgraduate	DU Student
University staff or a Research Postgraduate	DU Wireless
Visiting from another institution	eduroam
Guest Visitor Access	TheCloud@Durham

2. Enter your University username and password and most devices (phones, tablets, laptops) will connect automatically. Some devices require further steps to connect for the first time. For detailed instructions, select the appropriate option on the right of this page.

Have a Windows 7, 8 or 10 laptop? We also have a quick and easy tool that automatically runs through the steps to configure your laptop for DU Wireless - to use it just click here select 'Run' and follow the instructions. There's also an Eduroam version - see the link on the right.

If you are visiting from an institution that belongs to the JANET Roaming Service, you can access the Wireless Service via eduroam. For full details of eduroam and how to connect, see our dedicated page.
