Step 1

Establish an internet connection

If you are connecting on campus, connect to the “UNSW-GetOnline” Wi-Fi network.

Note: Once your device is onboarded, you will need to forget the “UNSW-GetOnline” Wi-Fi network to automatically connect to eduroam when on UNSW campuses. 

If you are connecting off campus, ensure that you have a reliable connection to download and install the Wi-Fi certificate.

Step 2

Download the Clearpass QuickConnect application

Search and navigate to Clearpass QuickConnect app page in the Google Play Store.

Select Install.

Note: DO NOT delete the app after the setup as you will lose access to eduroam

Note: For Samsung devices, you will need to put the QuickConnect app in the system’s “never sleeping apps” a guide on how to do so can be found here: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10003442/
