Eduroam-installation with Easyroam
Instructions for Windows devices
Using "HSW-Guest" WLAN network Temporarily for eduroam installation
The eduroam WLAN network is of course not yet available for the downloads mentioned below. You can therefore use the campus-wide HSW-Guest WLAN network as an alternative.
Please note: The HSW-Guest WLAN network is only intended for short-term access. After setting up the eduroam Wi-Fi network profile, the HSW-Guest Wi-Fi profile should be deleted from the device so that your device automatically logs in with the eduroam profile the next time you log in to the network.
Use HSW-Guest WLAN
If you do not have a mobile phone network available, you can use the HSW-Guest WLAN
- Open the WLAN overview.
- Select the HSW-Guest network and establish a connection with your university login details.
Remove HSW-Guest WLAN profile
If the HSW-Guest WLAN profile was used to download the Easyroam app, the profile must then be removed again so that the device does not automatically try to dial into the HSW-Guest network again the next time it dials into the network on the Wismar University of Applied Sciences campus.
- Open the WLAN overview by left-clicking on the WLAN symbol in the taskbar. Click on Disconnect on the HSW-Guest WLAN connection.
- Right-click on Start (Windows icon) in the taskbar and select Network settings / WLAN / known networks.
- Then click on the HSW-Guest profile and click on Do not save to delete the profile.

An Eduroam profile (certificate) set up via Easyroam is valid for 24 months. 14 days before the current Eduroam profile on the device expires, you will receive an e-mail with the subject "easyroam WLAN profile expires soon", stating which profile it is.
