Android up to version 9 (automatically with old app = eduroam-CAT)

Version note Android 10 and higher

These instructions only work for older devices with Android versions up to version 9. For Android 10 and higher, please use the instructions for automatic configuration from Android 10. Please also note the instructions for TTLS-PAP.

Removal of previous configuration

If your Android device is already logged into eduroam, the old configuration must first be removed before installing the current profiles. To do this, proceed as follows: 

1. Settings → Connections → WiFi. There, tap and hold the eduroam entry briefly until a new window opens.
2. Remove the network.
- Depending on the device manufacturer or Android version, the menus may differ.
3. As soon as your Android device no longer connects to eduroam, you can continue with the new setup described in the following section.

Setting up/Adding the configuration profile

To automatically configure your Android device for WiFi access, please use the "CAT" tool (Configuration Assistant Tool) provided by eduroam. 

1. Establish an Internet connection by other means (hotspot or guest WiFi at one of the HRZ contact points).
2. Download the eduroam CAT app from the Google Play Store.

3. Open the app and select Philipps-Universität Marburg as Organization and your user group (Students or Staff) as Profile. You will now be shown an edited representation of the profile content. Tap on Install.
4. Confirm the request and enter your username and password.
- Students: username@students.uni-marburg.de
- Staff: username@staff.uni-marburg.de

Please note: The eduroam username is not an e-mail address, despite the similarity. Aliases such as firstname.lastname@staff.uni-marburg.de do not work!

5. Successful authentication and Internet connection is displayed by the app. You should now be connected to the WiFi.

If the connection does not work, please contact the helpdesk team:
e-mail:
phone: +49 6421 28-28282
Please include your username (uid) and, if possible, the WiFi-MAC-address of the device with your inquiry.
