Troubleshooting
If you cannot connect, check that:
- You are at a location with good signal strength.
- If you are a member of staff, you have remembered to add @reading.ac.uk to the end of your username.
- If you are a student, you you have remembered to add @student.reading.ac.uk to the end of your username.
- You are typing your University password correctly.
These settings will only work if you have a University of Reading username - if you are from a different organisation, you will need to refer to your home organisation for the correct instructions.
