Android - Get Connected to Eduroam
To properly configure your Android device to connect to Eduroam, please follow the instructions below.
This will help you configure your device in such a way to ensure that you connect to Eduroam securely without needing to sign in every 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
Forget the WolfieNet-Secure and Eduroam network on your device to remove any outdated Wi-Fi profiles or certificates.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 SecureW2 app, if necessary) please follow the setup instructions below.
Instructions
Please note: you can also start this process on your home Wi-Fi, and finish the connection once you arrive on campus. Enter eduroam.stonybrook.edu in your browser and proceed to step 5.
Go to Settings.
Go to Connections and then click Wi-Fi to view your list of Wi-Fi networks:
- Tap on the SBU-GetConnected network and then click Connect.

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.
