Instructions for connecting to Eduroam using the Configuration Assistant Tool – Android version 8 and above
- If setup was tried previously, have the user “forget” Eduroam before starting this setup.
- Download and install the ‘geteduroam’ app from the Google Play store. This step is important to do first as the CAT tool interacts with this app to install the necessary profile on your device.
- Next, open a browser and navigate to https://cat.eduroam.org . Click the blue button to download the eduroam installer:
- Select Virginia Community College System from the list. If it doesn’t show up automatically you may need to use the search bar.
Your device type and operating system will be detected automatically, and the page will present a link to download the installer.
- The eduroam installer will download a profile to your phone. When it completes, click “Open”. Alternatively you can open it from the Files app on your device and navigating to the Downloads folder.
- Once you’ve completed this step, you should automatically be prompted to login with your myVCCS credentials by the geteduroam app:
- Save the network when prompted.
Now your device is ready to connect to eduroam!
