London Metropolitan University Student Zone

WiFi Access

The University uses eduroam for its wireless network. Eduroam provides a WiFi service to the university sector, allowing students to access WiFi at their home institution and when visiting other participating institutions, using their university login credentials.

Wifi advice for students returning to campus 

If you have been away from London Met's campuses for a long time, your London Met password may have changed. It is good security practice to change your password regularly, and when you do, any wireless devices that use your London Met password will also need to be updated so that they will reconnect to eduroam.

The easiest way to do this is to 'forget' the eduroam wireless network and add it again to your device using your new password.

Login details

Your username is your London Met email address. Your password is your University password.

  • Username format: abc0123@my.londonmet.ac.uk

If you are unable to connect to eduroam please raise a request in the IT Self Service Portal or visit our service desk.

Full details of the eduroam service are available at the eduroam website.
