How do I connect to eduroam on an Android device?
For other systems go to: Eduroam Landing Page
Answer
(The following screens were taken from an Android Galaxy S10 Android version 9 . Kernal 4.14.78-16886901 . Screens may vary over time or make model. Last update 11.14.19 )
From the Android device Home screen go to Settings and select Connections.
2. In the Connections option, choose Wi-Fi Networks
3. Choose the eduroam option from the available networks presented:
4. Users will be presented the following and prompted to enter their login information.
- In the Identity field, enter the full email address of your school. MIT users should enter their Kerberos username with "@mit.edu" at the end:
- Leave the Anonymous Identity field empty.
- Opt to not validate the CA Certficate
- Enter your institutional password in the Password field.
- If asked for a domain, not all Android devices do, enter: mit.edu
Android 12: requires setting CA certificate. Use the "Trust on first use" setting.
*Your school username and school password will be sent to your school for verification. If they work, your wifi will connect.

These steps appear to be outdated, or at least different from what I see on the latest Android 14 version on a Google Pixel phone.
I have found success connecting with these steps:
Example screenshot:
You might need to disable Private DNS under Settings > Network & Internet > Private DNS (further testing needed). It can be re-enabled after the initial connection to Eduroam. I have been able to successfully re-connect to Eduroam without disabling Private DNS again.
If you receive an authentication error after following these steps, try toggling Wi-Fi off and back on, and let it auto-connect to Eduroam.
My experience has not been 100% consistent even on my single device, but I hope this helps others who are having trouble connecting.
