Coverage

To connect you need to be in range of our WiFi signal (eduroam): in most learning and social areas (Canterbury, Medway and Tonbridge), and most Canterbury bedrooms.

Before connecting

You need a student, staff or visitor Kent IT account and a compatible device (modern smartphones/tablets are ok; your device needs to support WPA2/AES encryption).
