The University offers one Wi-Fi network across all of its campuses: eduroam. In order to ensure the best connection, configure your device to connect to the available networks in the following order of priority.
- Eduroam— Students, faculty, and staff from UD are encouraged to use eduroam as their primary Wi-Fi network on campus. The network's level of encryption allows for protected access to confidential, critical information.
- Any other Wi-Fi network you might use on or off campus. Eduroam is the only campus-wide Wi-Fi network. UD, UDel, and UDel Secure have all been retired.
