Connecting to the wireless network EDUROAM

• Once configured, we only have to choose the wireless network we want to connect to, in our case eduroam.

• The first time we connect this warning will show up:

• It is normal, just press OK.
• Then we must pay special attention to the way we enter the username, which is composed of our own account name (the same as the short form of the e-mail) followed by @unican.es, @gestion.unican.es o @alumnos.unican.es depending on the type of user (Never must use the long email address. We could not connect to eduroam.)
  

  Example for the faculty (xxxxxxxx@unican.es):

  

  Example for the staff (xxxxxx@gestion.unican.es):

  

  Example for a Student (xxxxxx@alumnos.unican.es):
