How do I connect my Chromebook to eduroam?

To connect your ChromeBook to the eduroam network, you need to perform an onboarding of your ChromeBook. To complete the onboarding, you must be connected to a network of internet access.

Step 1: Connect to our onboard network

If you are at Dalarna University Campus and are not connected to a network with Internet access, you can use our onboard network. If you already have internet access over another network, you can continue to use it and continue with step 2.

  • First, click the wireless network icon in the toolbar in the bottom right

  • Then click the network symptom, circled in the image below.
