The State of Idaho has banned TikTok from being accessed on state networks and systems, including Boise State’s wireless and wired networks.

BitTorrent is unavailable on all Boise State campus networks due to legal and security issues.

Your connection to the eduroam network is also portable – eduroam WiFi is offered at hundreds of institutions in the United States and in over 106 countries worldwide.

Great question! It has something to do with a requirement that the eduroam SSID is spelled consistently at all institutions using the system.

If your iOS device is configured to Auto-Join the eduroam wireless network, you may need to disable the Auto-Join setting before you can enter your new password to connect to eduroam.

Here’s how:

• Open to the Settings app and select Wi-Fi.
• Tap the small (i) next to the eduroam network name.
• Turn off the switch next to “Auto-Join”
• Connect to the eduroam network and enter your new password where prompted.

After you successfully authenticate you can go back to Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the small (i) next to eduroam, and switch “Auto-Join” back on.

We strongly recommend that you don’t use Hola VPN on any network.
