eduroam
eduroam (link) is the name for an international community of university and college institutions with an agreement to share network resources with all members as they travel. What this means is that individuals from participating schools who come to the University of Hawaii to visit--whether on business or pleasure--will be able to get a secure Wi-Fi network connection using their username/password. A temporary guest account is not required. Likewise, the reciprocal is true where our UH users can travel to other participating eduroam campuses and easily get on their network using your own UH username and password.
In the U.S., the participating institutions can be found at the eduroam US Institutions Map (link). There is also an eduroam International Map (link) showing thousands of participating institutions worldwide.
Instructions for setting up eduroam:

Wireless Authentication Passthrough
For the convenience of mobile device users who want to utilize the UH Wireless Network, as well as frequent wireless users, you can now setup a passthrough for the wireless network. Doing this will allow the device to bypass the normal wireless login process and immediately access the wireless network. (Note: Passthrough is not currently enabled for Windward CC)
To setup a passthrough, go to https://www.hawaii.edu/wireless/pt. To complete the passthrough setup process, you will need:
- Your UH Username and password
- The MAC Address (link) of your device
- A description of your device
Passthroughs expire after 1 year, and each user is allowed a maximum of 10 passthroughs to be setup at a time. Passthroughs are registered under your UH Username, and you are responsible for the activity of these devices while they are connected to the UH Wireless Network.
