If you have simply entered your university login and password to configure WiFi, and you have chosen to ignore certificates, the service will continue to work as before. You may be asked to re-enter your login and password to connect to WiFi after the change.

IMPORTANT You should stop ignoring certificates and re-install using the CAT tool to install and enable certificates as they protect your login from Man in the Middle attacks.

 

Users that have configured with TOFU (Trust on First Use) will need to forget the newcastle-university and eduroam networks and then reconnect.

 

If you configure WiFi using the eduroam CAT tool, should not need to update as the certificate chain will not be changing. The current profile is "All Users (Both Certs - Aug 2026)" and will onboard the latest certificate files.

If you lose connectivity on 19th August, use 3G, the WiFi Guest service or a wired connection to get on the Internet. Then visit cat.eduroam.org and use the CAT tool or geteduroam app (available from your app store) as directed, to connect to WiFi.
