Wireless On Campus

Overview

The eduroam network is available in all university buildings, including residence halls, and most outdoor locations on campus. The network provides a secure connection and supports Print on the Go remote printing for students.

Eduroam allows you use your Temple login credentials to connect to Wi-Fi  while visiting any participating institutions, including local universities.

Residence Hall Students:

  • Have a game console or media player? Connect instead to the turesnetextra network as described on this page.
  • Wired ethernet service is not available in the residence halls.
  • Wireless printers will be unable to connect to the wireless network on campus. If you would like to connect your printer, you will need to use a USB cable to connect it to your computer. As an alternative, Print on the Go allows you to wirelessly submit print requests and pick them up at any Print on the Go station.
