Still No Connection?

If your phone still does not connect, forget the Eduroam network and power off the device for at least 20 minutes before trying again with the steps above.
If your android phone still does not connect: first connect to a hotspot or any available network, and download "geteduroam" from the Google Play Store. Once it's installed, open the app, select University of Waterloo, sign in with your UW email address, and you should be connected.
