• To connect to Eduroam on an Android Device
• To forget the network on an Android Device

 

How-To

IMPORTANT: We are aware of certificate issues with some Android and Google devices. When prompted to validate the certificate, be sure to choose "Do Not Verify" (or similar wording), which is shown in Step 6. If you are prompted for a "Domain", see Step 4a.

Instructions

Step 1 - Click "Settings" on your device

 

Step 2 - Click "Connections", then click "Wifi"

 ​​​​​​

 

Step 3 - Click "eduroam"

 

Step 4 - Click on "EAP method" and select "PEAP"

 

 

Step 4a - If your phone prompts you for a "Domain", enter "unh.edu" regardless of the campus you are on. This section will not appear for most current Android and Google devices.

 

Step 5 - For "Identity", enter your USNH email address (username@usnh.edu). For "Password", enter your USNH account’s password (the same one you use to login to Microsoft)

 

 

Step 6 - Under CA Certificate select "Don’t validate"

  

 

Step 6a – On some older Android devices, you might not see the option for “Don’t validate”. In that case:

1. Under CA certificate, choose the option for “Use system certificates”.
2. Then in Online Certificate Status, choose “Request status”.
3. Lastly, in the section that appears for Domain, enter “unh.edu”, regardless of the campus you are on.

 

Step 7 - Click on "View more" to expand the options available

 

Step 8 - Click on "Phase 2 authentication" and select the option “MSCHAPV2”

 

 

Step 9 - Click "Connect" at the bottom of the options

 

 

Outcome

You should now be connected to eduroam, and your Wi-Fi options screen should look like this:
