How to connect to universities wifi (eduroam) with A6210 Wifi USB Adapter
Hello everybody,
I was wondering if it is possible to connect to a closed wifi network with my netgear usb adapter.
The network I'm talking about is the eduroam at my university and it generally requires to enter a username and a password.
However when trying to connect manually to eduroam using the Netgear Genie ( WPA2-PSK [AES] ) I'm only prompted with a passphrase.
Is there another way to make this work?
Best,
Daniel
Hi DanZib,
The adapter only supports upto WPA2-PSK AES type of security and will not be able to work with network that requires username and password.
