Wireless On Campus

Overview

The eduroam network is available in all university buildings, including residence halls, and most outdoor locations on campus. The network provides a secure connection and supports Print on the Go remote printing for students. It also is available 24-hours a day except during periods of scheduled maintenance or unforeseen network or electrical problems.

Eduroam allows you use your Temple login credentials (AccessNet email address and password) to connect to Wi-Fi  while visiting any participating institutions, including local universities.

Residence Hall Students:

  • Have a game console or media player? Connect instead to the turesnetextra network as described on this page.
  • Wired ethernet service is not available in the residence halls.
  • Wireless printers will be unable to connect to the wireless network on campus. If you would like to connect your printer, you will need to use a USB cable to connect it to your computer. As an alternative, Print on the Go allows you to wirelessly submit print requests and pick them up at any Print on the Go station. 

Eligibility and Access

  • Anyone with a current AccessNet username and password or guest login credentials, as described below under Guest Access.
  • Sponsored guests, such as parents, friends, product vendors, conference attendees, and outside organizations, such as news media personnel.
  • Temple visitors from participating Eduroam institutions who have a university/institution account username and password. 
  • WiFi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) enabled device (laptop, tablet, or phone)
