Connecting to eduroam on Android

You should be able to connect automatically to the eduroam Wireless Network with YourNetID@northwestern.edu (i.e., if your NetID is abc123, then you would enter abc123@northwestern.edu) as the username and your NetID password as the password through your Network Preferences. If you were not prompted to connect, you can manually configure your connection.

  1. From your home screen, drag the top of the screen down and select the Settings gear icon.
  2. From the Wireless and Networks subsection select Wi-Fi or Wireless Networks. Select eduroam from the list of wireless networks.
  3. You may be prompted for a credential storage password. This is not your NetID password, but your Android password. If you haven't set it up already, you may be prompted to do so at this point.
  4. Make the following selections:
    • EAP type: PEAP
    • Phase 2 Authentication: MSCHAPv2
    • CA Certificate and Client Certificate: Do Not Validate
    • Identity/Username: YourNetID@northwestern.edu (i.e., if your NetID is abc123, then you would enter abc123@northwestern.edu)
    • Anonymous Identity: leave blank
    • Wireless Password: NetID password
