Hi,

I would second this and also requested it a few months ago. The profile should be named eduroam to match the ssid name, it's confusing and looks like a rogue network to end users when all our documentation and setup guides say eduroam, not eduroam®.

Dear eduroam CAT Administrators,

We have noticed that the eduroam network often drops users(only windows, not android), prompting me to write a VBS script that facilitates a quick reinstallation and connection to the eduroam network using the eduroam CAT tool. This script has greatly improved the user experience at our school.

However, we have encountered a persistent issue with the connection part of the process. The eduroam CAT program uses “eduroam®” as the name in the wlan_prof-0.xml file, which is causing numerous errors due to character encoding issues.

Our school uses the following profile: 

https://cat.eduroam.org/?idp=649&profile="2261

To resolve these errors and enhance the connectivity experience for all users, I kindly request that the profile name be changed to “eduroamR” or another name that does not include special characters. This change would greatly assist in our efforts to maintain a stable and user-friendly eduroam connection.

Thank you for considering this request. We appreciate the support and services provided by the eduroam CAT team.

Best regards, Zoltán Kovács
