There is almost no difference between connecting to an eduroam network and connecting to your own institution’s network. You must connect using the same username and password with the authorization and encryption method you used when connecting to your own institution’s network. The only difference with your own institution is that the SSID, that is, the “Wireless Network Name”, is different. If the SSID used in your institution is the same as other institutions, you can make a direct connection without having to do this. You can check the SSIDs of eduroam member institutions on the eduroam Turkey participant information page.
You can find out whether the institution you are visiting uses the same SSID for its users, and the eduroam coverage areas from this page and the information pages of the institution you are visiting.
