Having a reliable Wi-Fi connection on campus is essential. Grab your device, brave the setup, and join the ranks of those who have already registered to eduroam.

Vicious Dark Geese have captured the Wi-Fi Connection Wizard, and the internet has vanished from campus.  Beat the maze, dodge the geese, and reach the wizard to win.

“The Quest for the Wi-Fi Connection Wizard” takes a Lord of the Rings-style spin on a very real mission: getting connected to eduroam. In the video, students set off on an epic quest to find the Connection Wizard, who may be able to guide them through network connectivity. Their goal? Wi-Fi glory.

You can now root for our heroes from Instagram and Youtube Shorts:
