Description of work:
An important security certificate on eduroam, the University’s Wi-Fi system, needs to be updated every year.
In order to ensure you maintain connectivity to eduroam, we're encouraging staff and students to re-run eduroamCAT from /eduroam/ on their devices ahead of the change. This can be done from off-site and at any time.
If you do not re-run eduroam CAT ahead of the change, your device will likely refuse to connect to eduroam.
If you are unable to connect to eduroam once on-site, the advice is to connect to the sussex-wifi-setup wireless network and follow the instructions to run eduroam CAT.
Further instructions and help videos on running eduroamCAT for your device can be found here: /eduroam/ by clicking on the icon that represents your device.
