Wi-Fi & connectivity

[MattF1]

Hi, I have just bought a Roku Express Streaming Device so I can watch stuff at uni without having to resort to services such as Sky Go. However I have a bit of a problem, that it will not connect to the uni internet. Since I have heard that a WPA2 enterprise connection is not supported (which angered me a bit as the site has a specific page about connecting to those internets), is there a workaround? There is no mobile service in my room so that is not an alternative... This is very important to me as I am sick of Sky Go...

There isn't any workaround for getting a Roku device to support WPA2 Enterprise that I'm aware of.  I'd suggest looking into some kind of bridge device that connects to your school's Wi-Fi and then connect your Roku to it.  That may bring along its own issues.

What do you mean when you say bridge device, do you mean basically a hotspot?

Thank you so much for the response, I tried basically using my laptop as a hotspot and it worked!

Good to hear and thanks for reporting back!  I was thinking of a device similar to a Wi-Fi access point in bridge mode, but if you're fine with using your laptop, that's a good solution.
