Wi-Fi at KTH

As a student, you have access to free wireless networks at KTH. The Wi-Fi network is called eduroam which stands for Education roaming and is an international cooperation between universities.

KTH provides all students and employees who have an KTH account access to free wireless networks at the KTH premises, to facilitate study and work.

Eduroam

The Wi-Fi network is called Eduroam which stands for EDUcation ROAMing and is an international cooperation between universities. The idea is that you use your user account at your home university to log in to the wireless network.

Eduroam uses WPA-enterprise, which allows you to access KTH's wireless net without logging in every time you connect to the net. This will also allow you to use the network on many other universities without any change to your configuration.
(note: WPA-enterprise is not the same as WPA-PSK (pre-shared-key) which we DON'T support).
The eduroam service works at many universities, but you have to check with each place to be sure.

In these pages you will find information and guides on how to access this network with your computer, phone or tablet.
