How do I connect to eduroam on Android OS?

This article explains how to connect to the UC Berkeley Campus eduroam WiFi network on a device running Android.

Before you Begin

1. Forget the Berkeley-Visitor networks from your remembered WiFi networks list
   
   • In the Wi-Fi screen described in step 3 below you can select Saved Networks and then long press on a network and choose "Forget" so the device will no longer use that network.

   • If you have not yet created a WiFi key, navigate to Berkeley Portal WiFi account management and follow the prompts.
   • Instructions can be found here: Creating a WiFi Key and Managing WiFi Keys

Connecting Android to eduroam
