How do I connect my Android device to eduroam?

New student? Check our guide on how to connect to eduroam for the first time.

Logging your Android device into eduroam allows you to access our fast, encrypted wireless network for students. Follow these instructions to connect:

  1. Turn on Wi-Fi in Settings.

  2. Select eduroam from the list of available wireless networks. A window will appear, press connect.

  3. Check the EAP method is PEAP and adjust if not.

  4. Change the Phase 2 authentication drop down to MSCHAPV2. If the option to select Phase 2 authentication does not appear, click Advanced and select MSCHAPV. Click Save.

  5. CA Certificate - set to Do not validate

  6. If Do not validate is not available as an option under CA Certificate, select Use system certificates or Trust on first use.

  7. If asked for a domain, type leedsbeckett.ac.uk

  8. In the identity box type in your username (e.g. c1234567) followed by @leedsbeckett.ac.uk: c1234567@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.

  9. In the Anonymous identity leave blank. If you have a ChromeBook see these instructions: How do I connect my Chromebook to eduroam?

  10. Enter your password (the same one used to log in to MyBeckett).

  11. Press Connect and it should connect to eduroam. If you selected Trust on first use for your CA Certificate, there will be another box - press Connect again to continue.

If the phone doesn’t connect after this process, it is a good idea to forget any Leeds Beckett networks and then try again. To do this:

  1. Swipe down the screen and click on settings (generally represented by a cog).

  2. Click on Wi-Fi.

  3. Click on eduroam.

  4. On the next screen, click on Forget. Also do this with Guest Wi-Fi if you have connected to that network before.

  5. If it still won't connect, restart the device and see if it then auto connects.

Once your device has connected to eduroam you should only need to reconnect every 6 months when your university password expires.
