Why do I need to register for wireless access?

To protect the integrity of the University network, it is essential that all devices (e.g. laptop, iPad, cell phone etc.) connected to the eduroam wireless network use the latest version of the operating system and the necessary antivirus and spyware software.

Connect to Wi-Fi on campus

The Wi-Fi network used to connect to the internet access is called eduroam. See selfregistration procedure: How to Connect to Wi-Fi on campus. For a detailed description about registering your device visit www.sun.ac.za/wifi, then select the guide that matches your device operating system, e.g. Android, Apple or Windows.
