Operating System: Chrome OS

Applies To: UB students, faculty, staff, researchers 

Last Updated: September 12, 2024

In order to connect your Chromebook to eduroam, you must configure it properly.

Important:

Chromebooks are designed for home use, not institutional use. Use at UB has been inconsistent, with reports of dropped or weak connections due to suspected firmware issues. UB does not recommend using Chromebooks on campus, and Chromebooks do not meet UB's student hardware standards.

  1. Click on your Chromebook's Wi-Fi and select eduroam
  2. Choose the following settings:
    • EAP method: PEAP
    •  Phase 2 authentication: Automatic
    • Server CA certificate: Default
    • User cert: none installed
    • Subject match: buffalo.edu
    • Subject alternative name match: (leave blank)
    • Domain suffix match: buffalo.edu
    • Identity: full UB email address, including @buffalo.edu
    • Password: UBITName password
    • Anonymous identity: (leave blank)
  3. Click Connect
