The camosun network is available at both campuses and gives you your quick internet fix. The eduroam network is is available at both campuses and at other schools that are part of Eduroam worldwide.Why are there two wireless networks?The eduroam network is secure— data sent from your laptop or phone is encrypted. Depending on what operating system your device uses it might require more work to set up the connection, but after that you should connect to Eduroam automatically whenever you’re on campus.The camosun network is quicker to connect to, but you have to log into it every time you’re on campus. It’s not secured, so data sent from your device to the wireless antenna could be snooped on by others. The camosun network is handy if you need to Google something quickly or pop on Facebook, but we highly recommend you use Eduroam.
