Eduroam Manual Setup

Not all devices will have exactly the same menus or options. Here are the general steps to follow if regular Eduroam setup doesn't work for you.

Only follow these instructions if you have already tried setting up Eduroam using the normal instructions: Eduroam: Connecting to Wireless Internet at Carleton

Install the Certificate

  1. Connect your device to the CarletonGuests WiFi network (or to your cellular data plan)
  2. Open a web browser and visit https://go.carleton.edu/wificert to download the cert (or download the attached file)
  3. You will be prompted to name and save the certificate - you can name it whatever you'd like
  4. If you are asked what type of certificate this is, select WiFi (not VPN or anything else)

If this fails, you have another option:

  1. Download the certificate from https://go.carleton.edu/wificert (or download the attached file)
  2. Email it to yourself
  3. Open the attachment you just emailed to yourself using the device you're trying to set up with an Eduroam connection. It should allow you to install it as a WiFi trust anchor.

Configure your WiFi

  1. In your WiFi settings (probably under Settings > WiFi), select eduroam
  2. Modify the network
  3. Make sure the following settings appear
    1. Network type: WPA2-Enterprise or 802.1x EAP (this is usually automatic)
    2. EAP Method: PEAP. Protected EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) Authentication Protocol.
    3. Phase 2 Authentication: MSCHAPv2.
    4. Proxy settings: None (leave alone)
    5. IP Settings: DHCP (leave alone)
    6. Domain: carleton.edu
  4. Enter your full Carleton email address and password
  5. Look for Advanced Options
  6. Look for CA Certificate
  7. Select AddTrust and pick the file that you just downloaded

You should now be able to connect to eduroam!
