How to access the University Wireless Network (Eduroam) and the Virtual
Private Network (VPN)
Eduroam
You will need your University username and password to access the University wireless network,
“eduroam”.
When connecting most devices, select “Wireless”, the device will then scan for wireless services, and
detect “eduroam”. Select “eduroam” then enter your username followed by @sheffield.ac.uk in the
identity box, and your password in the password box. Then select “Connect”, a wireless icon will appear
in the status bar once connected.
If you have any difficulties, you can either contact the CiCS Helpdesk, talk to a member of staff in the
Information Commons, or access the following University site http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/wireless which
has further information relating to connecting computers, laptops and phones to the Wireless Network.
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
The university VPN is used to establish a secure link from a remote computer to services at the
University. It allocates a Sheffield IP address effectively making your computer part of the campus
network. In order to setup the VPN connection to access the campus network, you will need to know
your remote access password. For further information on this and how to set up a VPN, visit the
following university site http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/vpn
