Android - Get Connected to Eduroam
To properly configure your device to connect to Eduroam, go to eduroam.stonybrook.edu. This tool will help you install and maintain your Wi-Fi profile with the latest security certificate, SecureW2, allowing you to connect to Eduroam securely without needing to sign in each time.
About SecureW2
SecureW2 is the university's recommended tool for connecting to the official campus Wi-Fi network. Using SecureW2 ensures that the correct security certificates are installed on your device. For your protection, be wary of unexpected Wi-Fi certificate prompts that appear as pop-ups, as they may not be legitimate or approved by the university.
Requirements
If you are coming back to campus after June 19th, 2026:
- Forget the WolfieNet-Secure and Eduroam network on your device to remove any outdated Wi-Fi profiles or certificates.
- Uninstall the SecureW2 JoinNow application from your phone if you already have it installed from before.
Once you have forgotten the necessary networks (and uninstalled the app if necessary) OR if you are connecting to the campus Wi-Fi for the first time, follow the setup instructions below.
Instructions
- Go to Settings.
- Go to Connections (or something similar) and then Wi-Fi to view your list of Wi-Fi profiles
- Tap on the SBU-GetConnected network and click Connect.
- Click on the network to access the Wi-Fi onboarding page, if it does not automatically direct you there. Then click Continue.
- At this point, you should be automatically redirected to eduroam.stonybrook.edu in your browser. If not, type the address into your search bar or click on the link in the previous sentence to proceed.
- Click the Download button in the centre of the page.
- This should bring you to the Google Play page of the SecureW2 JoinNow application. Tap the Install button to download it.
- Do not open the app you just downloaded yet. Instead, go back to eduroam.stonybrook.edu and click the JoinNow button.
- You will be automatically redirected to the NetID Single Sign-On page in your browser. Enter your NetID and NetID password, then click Login. You may be prompted for Duo for two-factor authentication. Make sure to go through the required steps to move on.
- You should be redirected back to the app after signing in. Please Allow and/or Save the network as the device prompts you to do so.
- After logging in, a "Success" page should appear. You are now connected to the university's Eduroam network!
Configuring Your Wi-Fi Profile Before Arriving On Campus
If you are not on campus while setting up your Wi-Fi profile, you will not be connected to Eduroam upon getting to the success landing page. However, once you arrive on campus, you may select Eduroam as your Wi-Fi network in your device. It should then connect automatically as long as you have successfully followed the above steps before arrival.
