Texas Tech University users traveling

As a TTU user, when you are on a campus which provides access to eduroam Wi-Fi, you can connect to the network by choosing the "eduroam" option in your device's wireless settings. For your username, type your full @ttu.edu email address (e.g., john.doe@ttu.edu). For the password, type your eRaider password.

NOTE: If you are trying to connect to eduroam at another institution, you may have to contact the IT department of that institution for connection setting specifics.

NOTE: Your eRaider password remains secure and is never sent to servers at the institution you are visiting.

Texas Tech University users on the TTU campus

TTU users may access eduroam from non-Texas Tech campuses where it is available. When on the TTU campus, TTU users should connect to the TTUnet Wi-Fi network instead of the eduroam network. Using the TTUnet network will give you full access to all of the services to which you are entitled, without firewall restrictions which are in place to protect our information resources from the rest of the Internet.

eduroam is a guest network for visitors that only supplies Internet access. For that reason, access to eduroam on all Texas Tech University campuses is blocked for TTU users, as they can and should authenticate to TTUnet when using wireless.
