well this wasn't very detailed.
How are you attempting to connect it to wifi?
What wireless adapter?
what router are you connecting it to?
Whats saying you need a certificate?
better descriptions/photos/screen shots will help us to help you.

You still didn't tell us much info like what router your connecting to, what wireless adapter you're using (unless you're indicated by the a7000 in your signature).
but if you do a quick google on your issue, this is the first result.
