UAF On-Campus Wifi Setup

Fall 2023 classes are starting soon, and people are coming back on the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) campus and need wifi!

Your options are:

• UAGuest: a pain to set up every time, and then capped at 10 megabit (the other options are 20x faster in a non-congested area!).
• eduroam: uses certificates, the easiest setup is the eduroam CAT (configuration assistant tool). Runs at up to 200 megabit, and works at almost any university around the world.
• UAlaska: uses your UA single sign-on password. This seems to be the most reliable connection, except you may need to manually switch to “PEAP” instead of the default TLS authentication, like this:

The flip side of this is to access university resources from off campus, you need the OIT VPN, which recently broke on Linux and I haven’t gotten it running again.
