These steps appear to be outdated, or at least different from what I see on the latest Android 14 version on a Google Pixel phone.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.
