Upcoming changes to Wifi networks

Information Technology Services is planning a change to simplify the Wifi networks available on campus. Asa of 1 April 2015 we will no longer offer the ‘Flinders’ named Wifi network to users. We recommend users migrate to eduroam wireless as soon as practicable.

Removal of the Flinders Wifi network will:

  • ensure all users take advantage of the eduroam wireless access, which has the added advantage of providing wireless access while on Flinders University campuses, other major universities in South Australia and soon Flinders Medical Centrei
  • improve security by ensuring all wireless communications are encrypted
  • provide a more seamless experience as users on eduroam do not need to sign into a web site portal.

What is expected to change?

The ‘Flinders’ Wifi network will no longer be available at any Flinders University campus location and all users will be required to connect to the eduroam Wifi network.If you have a mobile device or laptop that was previously connected to the Flinders Wifi network we recommended you configure your device to connect to eduroam by following the instructions available here.
