Please note: This guide was mainly created using Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Depending on your Android device and Android version, the interface may look slightly different, and the process and settings (such as username@leeds.ac.uk) may differ slightly.
The University uses the Eduroam (Education Roaming) Wi-Fi network. It’s fast, secure and you can use it to get online at many other universities around the world.
Follow these instructions to connect your Android device to the Eduroam Wi-Fi network.
Step 1: From the home screen, pull down from the top of your device to access the settings menu, and then tap on the Settings cog. Alternatively, you can access settings from your applications folder.
Step 2: Select Wi-Fi.
Step 3: Select eduroam from the list of networks.
Step 4: Enter the following settings (as shown in the screenshot below)
- EAP method – PEAP
- Phase 2 Authentication – MSCHAPV2
- CA Certificate – "Use system certificate" under the CA Certificate dropdown
- Domain - If your device asks for a domain, please enter: Leeds.ac.uk
- Identity – yourusername@leeds.ac.uk - You need @leeds.ac.uk at the end of your username or it will not connect.
- Anonymous Identity – Leave this blank
- Password – Your password for your University account
- Select connect
Your device may then start 'Obtaining IP address' and then should connect automatically from now on.
If you still can't connect go to settings, then Wi-Fi and click on connect to 'WiFi - Setup Instructions'. This should take you to a link to install the automatic set up app from the Google Play Store.
Having Problems?
If you have any problems the most common causes are:
- The username was entered without adding @leeds.ac.uk at the end
- The password was incorrect - this will lock your account out after a few wrong attempts
Use SSPR to unlock your account or reset your password - The data/time or time zone is incorrect on your device
- Your account is currently disabled
- You have finished your course
If you still can't get connected you can use the Wi-Fi setup network to configure your connection to Eduroam.
