Eduroam
This is the preferred way to connect to the Campus Network with personal devices or computers without having to constantly log onto the WiFi.
For first time setup on new computers or devices, it is recommended that they set up the device through the wireless setup page at https://setup.wireless.ucsb.edu/help/eduroam in order to get properly setup with certificates/access for their device.
Eduroam is supported by multiple universities, if you already have Eduroam set up from a different UC, California State University, or most public universities in the US, Canada and Europe, it most likely will work at UCSB automatically.
