It sounds like your network (the network you're using) requires a login page, similar to what hotels and dorms use.

Try the instructions on the page How to use Hotel and Dorm Connect to connect to the internet.

I just recently moved to a college dorm and the wifi requires a username and password to connect (not in an external browser window but in normal network settings), but when i select the network from the wireless connection menu it doesn’t even prompt me to enter the password it just tries to connect and then says it is unable to form a wireless connection with the network. Has anyone else experienced this? is there a way to fix it? Thanks in advance

Hello @andysbhai

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community!

Can you please provide more information about the issue you are experiencing? What Roku model device are you using? Have you tried connecting your device to an alternate wireless network, such as a mobile hotspot, to see if it will connect?

Follow these steps to connect to the internet: After you arrive at your destination and set up your device, initiate and authenticate the connection to the internet using the instructions below.

-Initiate the connection
-Open the Settings menu on your Roku device to initiate the connection.
-Press the Home button  on your Roku remote.
-Scroll up or down and select Settings.
-Select Network.
-Select Set up connection.
-Select Wireless.
-From the list of available networks, choose the wireless network for the hotel or college dorm. If you do not see the network, select Scan again to see all networks.
After your Roku device connects to the network, select I am at a hotel or college dorm.
For full information on this, you can take a look at this link: How to use Hotel and Dorm Connect to connect to the internet 

Please try doing this and see if it helps with what you're experiencing.


Regards,
Karla
