Using eduroam
Set the device up once at Bilkent and the same settings work wherever you see a network named eduroam.
When you arrive
Find the wireless network named eduroam, connect, and enter your Bilkent username and password. You do not load the host university’s installer.
A device that was never configured needs the Bilkent-specific setup, and that setup needs a working network first. Do it before you leave campus so you are not stuck without a connection.
Certificates expire
Password safety depends on protocols that exchange security certificates. Those certificates are valid for a limited number of years. When one expires or changes, the connection fails until you run setup again.
Test on campus before you travel. If the device joins Bilkent eduroam, it should join the network at your destination with the same account.
When the account closes
The username looks like number@bilkent.edu.tr. The password is the STARS or BAIS password. There is no separate application.
When a student’s or staff member’s affiliation ends, the eduroam account is disabled immediately. A mailbox that still works does not keep the wireless account open.
