There are several options for how your family/household members who are not University-affiliated can get online:
- You may provide your WiFi key with your household members so that they may access eduroam. Your eduroam ID is your CalNet ID followed by @berkeley.edu, for example, if your CalNet ID is oski, you should enter "oski@berkeley.edu". Note: This is not the same thing as sharing your CalNet passphrase, as your WiFi key only gives your household members access to the eduroam network.
- You may also have your household members use a wired connection through one of the ports on your apartment's Aruba wireless access point. You, as the University-affiliated resident, would need to register the MAC address for the device at socreg.berkeley.edu and assume responsibility for any security violations.
- Your household members may use Berkeley-Visitor, which requires no University affiliation. However, be aware that Berkeley-Visitor is not a secured network.
The main caveat is that you, as the University affiliate, need to be aware that you are the primary person responsible for the internet usage in your residence, and thus you are expected to ensure all usage complies with campus security/copyright policies, etc. Some of the key policies are available here: https://studenttech.berkeley.edu/policies
