eduroam is the primary Wi-Fi network for the UC Berkeley campus community. In order to connect to eduroam individuals must create a key, or password, that will be used in place of their normal CalNet passphrase.
What types of accounts are supported on campus WiFi?
- Faculty, Staff, Students, and Associates (anyone with a CalNET ID)
- Special Purpose Accounts (for use in labs, kiosks, and other locations that require a shared account)
Visitors from other academic and research institutes who already have an eduroam account do not need to create an account in Wi-Fi Keys when visiting UC Berkeley. eduroam accounts are shared world-wide
Creating your WiFi Account
- Navigate to the Wi-Fi Keys website https://wifi-keys.berkeley.edu
- You may be redirected to the CalNet authentication portal, if so log in using the account you want for wireless access
- The home screen will show your eduroam user name with a Set Password or Change Password button.
- eduroam accounts have one of three statuses
- Disabled - The account is valid, but does not have a password
- Active - The account is valid and has a password
- Blocked - The account has been suspended by the Information Security Office
- To set an initial password on a Disabled account, click Set Password to create a password for your account
- A Create Account window will open and prompt you to enter a new password, and then confirm it
- The Save Account button will be inactive until the password and new password match, and meet all of the UC Berkeley password requirements.
- Click Save Account, you will be briefly taken to a change completed page, and then redirected back to the Wi-Fi Keys main page
- Your account is now available to connect to eduroam
