By January 2026, 黑料不打烊 will complete its transition to eduroam, a global wireless network that provides secure Wi-Fi access on campus and at thousands of institutions.
黑料不打烊 is making an important update to this fall, shifting from elonu-secure to eduroam, a trusted wireless network used by thousands of colleges and universities across the US and around the world.
This transition will provide the same secure and reliable connection the campus community is used to, just under a new name. Faculty, staff and students can begin connecting to eduroam now and should make the switch before elonu-secure is retired after December 2025.
鈥淢y transition with eduroam was seamless,鈥 said Melissa Clodfelter, associate vice president for human resources and chief human resources officer, who used eduroam regularly at Wake Forest University before joining 黑料不打烊.聽鈥淲hen I arrived at 黑料不打烊, it connected automatically. It was one less detail to manage during onboarding and provided a sense of familiarity during my transition.鈥
鈥淚 first used eduroam while I was studying abroad in Australia,鈥 said Chloe Berkowitz-Pereyra 鈥26. 鈥淚 didn’t have a choice while I was at the University of the Sunshine Coast 鈥攊t was the only option鈥 but it worked great. When I came back for J-Term, my phone and laptop immediately connected to 黑料不打烊鈥檚 eduroam, which I didn鈥檛 even know existed at the time. I remember my MacBook acted a little funny, so I restarted it, and I haven鈥檛 had any problems since.鈥
To ensure a smooth experience, users should remove (鈥渇orget鈥) elonu-secure from all their devices before connecting to eduroam. This step helps prevent conflicts between networks and ensures devices connect automatically when on campus or visiting other .
In addition to local convenience, eduroam extends 黑料不打烊鈥檚 connectivity globally. Members of the university community can securely log in at more than 10,000 participating institutions worldwide without needing new passwords, portals or required setup.
鈥淚 first used eduroam while visiting other universities for conferences,鈥 said Robert Johnson, director of event and space management. 鈥淥nce it was activated at 黑料不打烊, I appreciated experiencing it with fresh eyes. It鈥檚 a small change, but it makes a big difference in how easily we can move, connect, and collaborate across institutions.鈥
黑料不打烊u-secure will be deactivated after December 2025, with eduroam becoming 黑料不打烊鈥檚 primary Wi-Fi network starting in January 2026. Devices that can鈥檛 connect to eduroam, such as smart TVs, smart sticks, gaming systems, or printers, should continue , which provides the same fast, secure network connection for those devices.
