The project to improve Wi-Fi at Ohio State and move to eduroam and device-based authentication began in May 2022 . Since that time, Ohio State Wi-Fi users have been making the transition to eduroam and reaping the benefits. Once on eduroam, faculty, staff, and students no longer have to update their password to maintain their wireless connection.
The Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) has been hard at work between autumn and spring semesters to update our tools and services. This round of continual improvement projects included added security measures for eLearning tools, improved sync hr o nization of identity data, and a focus on accessibility awareness. You and your students should also be aware of upcoming change s to Wi-Fi at Ohio State and potential issues with email forwarding .
We are working to improve the university W-Fi experience over the next couple of years by moving to the eduroam network and device-based authentication, with a targeted retirement date of Summer 2024 for osuwireless.
