The following instruction is supported by the TU Delft and has been tested to be working. If you
have a configuration other than the one described here, we cant guarantee that you will be able
to make a successful connection.

Note to employees
Laptops provided by the TU are configured to automatically connect with the eduroam wireless network.
When thisdoesnt happen on your TU laptop, please contact your Servicepoint.
