Summary

Please refer to one of the following articles to install eduroam on a device.

Note: Username is your Bethel username followed by (@bethel.edu). In many cases this will be the same as your Bethel email, however, if you have set up an Email Alias to override the default email, this will NOT work for your eduroam profile and you will need to enter your username followed by (@bethel.edu). The password is the same for any other Bethel login.

Android 11

As of Dec 2020, Android 11 no longer allows networks that do not validate a certificate. As such, these devices will need to use the Bethel-Guest network until our authentication server is setup properly for these devices.

Earlier version of Android will still have the option available and can use it to connect to Bethel.

The following steps indicate how to download your eduroam profile onto your Android mobile device to connect to the WiFi.
