Connecting to eduroam

Your StarID needs to be active and you need to be currently affiliated with one of the Minnesota State Colleges or Universities in order to log into the eduroam network. 

 


To sign into the eduroam network (this is a secure network)

Student Username: your StarID@go.minnstate.edu. 
Employee Username: your StarID@minnstate.edu. 
Password: Your StarID password. 

 


College owned devices  

Any device owned by the college will be configured to automatically connect to the Wi-Fi, if the device is WiFi capable.  MPLS-Secure is the network that all campus machines should connect too. Users should not have to connect their College issued devices to the WiFi.  This network can be used for BYOD as well.  Users can sign into MPLS-Secure with their StarID and StarID password.    

 

 

eduroam for personal devices. Bring your own device. (BYOD)  

Once your device has been connected to the eduroam network your device will automatically connect to that network again when available.
Eduroam is also used by organizations outside the Minnesota State System, like the U of M and the US Bank Stadium. If you have previously connected to eduroam and go to the U of M campus, your mobile device would find the eduroam network and automatically connect.

Campus guests or anyone who does not have a StarID can access the network called MPLS-Guest.
