Hi @Camanderson0121!

These devices can only be used on networks that require a password to authenticate. They also cannot be used with networks that are authenticated using a captive portal, frequently seen in dorms or hotels. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you.

Happy Streaming!

Because of hacking a wifi password is required. They will not install on an unsecure network.
