This page guides you through the process of connecting your own device to our free campus eduroam Wi-Fi network using the Marvis Client app. Do not install Marvis on managed UoR devices as they are already set up with an eduroam connection.

Go to eduroam.reading.ac.uk (or direct link UoR Juniper Mist Portal) on the device you want to connect. Once on the Juniper Mist portal page, check that the correct operating system has been detected (change by "Other OS" if not) and click "Download Marvis Client Onboarding App".

 

Alternatively you can download the Marvis Client App from your application store:

Once downloaded, the Marvis Client will open with the message "No network profile configured. Contact your administrator for provisioning link". 

Open the UoR Juniper Mist Portal (staying on the same device that you want to connect) to get the network profile. If asked, sign in with your UoR credentials and authenticate via Authenticator.  

Press “Install Network Profile” from the UoR Juniper Mist Portal webpage. This will reopen the Marvis App so you can install the profile there.

Android phone error: This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it 

Follow the on screen instructions to install the network profile.

You will be asked if you want to connect to Eduroam. Say "Join" to complete set up and connect to eduroam (whether you are on campus or not). If you are not on campus you will connect to eduroam automatically next time you’re here.

Do not uninstall the Marvis Client as it is needed to keep the eduroam certificate up to date. If you do uninstall it, you may find you need to reinstall periodically if your eduroam connection drops.

Managed devices (those provided by the University via DTS) have the required settings already and will maintain eduroam connection without you needing to do anything. If your managed device is not connecting, please have a look at Wi-Fi troubleshooting and then raise a ticket with the IT Service Desk if you are still having issues.

Have a look at our Wi-Fi troubleshooting tips, which contains solutions to some common issues connecting to Wi-Fi.
