Eduroam network is now fully functional in K.U, and there are 250+ internet routers in the university at strategic places with speeds up to 50MBPS!
Eduroam is an
international project adopted by most learning institutions (Now including
K.U) that works towards interlinked internet connectivity for all students.
It’s quite simple really, all you have to do is get a username (In K.U this is
the corporate students email address i.e @students.ku.ac.ke) and
password which I am going to explain how to get one below.
Let’s get to it!
First, you will need to get a corporate student’s email
address. To do this, please visit support.ku.ac.ke and submit a ticket as
follows:
Follow these instructions to submit a ticket:
– Visit support.ku.ac.ke
Email submit ticket details – Fill in the ticket as given in
this caption:
(This might take between 24-48 hours to be processed)
Assuming you now have the email address, you can now submit
another ticket for your eduroam username and password activation – do as
directed below (follow the instructions given in the images):
Follow these instructions to submit ticket:
– Visit support.ku.ac.keSubmit your eduroam account activation details: follow
the caption’s instructions.
(This might take between 24-48 hours to be processed)
Alternatively, you can send both tickets as one – this may
however take a while to get resolved.
Now, to get connected you’ll use user corporate email
(@students.ku.ac.ke) as your eduroam username and the password you’ll be given
by the K.U support team, as your password. Go to your wireless icon and press
connect on eduroam network. A pop-up will show up where you can enter the
details as directed.
