eduroam Installation Guide for Android

If you run into issues setting up eduroam from the app, you can install the IAS profile from the Eduroam CAT Tool.

Note: Depending on the manufacturer of your phone, the eduroam CAT app may not work on Android 11. For this reason, we will continue to support the installers on the Eduroam CAT Tool.

Once the app is opened, a pop-up will appear prompting you to allow access to your device's location. Select "allow all the time" or "allow only while using the app."
