Overview
The eduroam wireless network is the primary, official wireless network used by Metro State University and all students, faculty, and staff should be using this as their preferred wireless network. Users connecting to eduroam are encouraged to use the Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT) when configuring their endpoint as it streamlines the configuration process and is officially supported by InCommon, the higher education body managing and supporting eduroam. The CAT installation on mobile devices can be streamlined using the "geteduroam" app available on the Apple App Store for Apple devices, and Google Play Store for Android devices.
