Zusammenfassung:Example embodiments relate to zeroconf profile transferring to enable fast roaming. In example embodiments, user identification is received from a user computing device that is connected to a wireless device, where the user identification is sent to an authentication server to determine a zeroconf profile name. In response to receiving a user authorization from the authentication server, the user computing device is provided with access to a network. Further, a zeroconf profile is used to provide the user computing device with access to services on the network, where the zeroconf profile is identified using the profile name. The zeroconf profile name is then sent to a neighboring wireless device that uses the zeroconf profile name to identify the zeroconf profile for providing the user computing device with access to the services.
