‘UvA’ Wi-Fi network will be switched off: move to eduroam

‘UvA’ Wi-Fi network will be switched off: move to eduroam

Published on 02-07-2026
From 1 August, the University of Amsterdam will switch off the ‘UvA’ Wi-Fi network at all teaching and research locations. From that date, the ‘UvA’ network will no longer appear in the list of available Wi-Fi networks. Eduroam will become the standard Wi-Fi network for all students and staff. This will make the wireless network simpler and more future-proof.
