Help! I cannot connect to our network. I am using Arduino Uno WiFi Rev2.

The network name is eduroam

I have to enter a user name to login to the network. Username is gaminib

Next I have to enter a password e.g., abcdef1234

I am using this code from examples, WifiNINA

Connectwith WPA

/*

 This example connects to an unencrypted Wifi network.
 Then it prints the  MAC address of the Wifi module,
 the IP address obtained, and other network details.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFiNINA.h>

#include "arduino_secrets.h" 
///////please enter your sensitive data in the Secret tab/arduino_secrets.h
char ssid[] = SECRET_SSID;        // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = SECRET_PASS;    // your network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP)
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;     // the Wifi radio's status

void setup() {
  //Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }

  // check for the WiFi module:
  if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_MODULE) {
    Serial.println("Communication with WiFi module failed!");
    // don't continue
    while (true);
  }

…. Snip

In the secret tab "arduino_secrets.h" When I place

#define SECRET_SSID "eduroam"
#define SECRET_PASS "gaminib"

And upload to the board,

I get this in the serial monitor and nothing else happened.
09:06:05.702 -> Attempting to connect to WPA SSID: eduroam
I entered gaminib in the send box of the serial monitor and nothing happened.

In the secret tab "arduino_secrets.h" When I place

#define SECRET_SSID "gaminib"
#define SECRET_PASS "secretpassowrd1234"

And upload to the board,

How do I connect to our network?

Thank you.

the parameters in WiFi.begin are for joining a WiFi network.

I assume you enter the eduroam credentials on web page of a captive portal. this is happening on a TCP level, not on WiFi radio network level.

you should make a https request with eduroam credentials to the captive portal to sign in to eduroam network

ESP32 has support for eduroam but it is not available via WiFiNINA. eduroam uses WPA2 Enterprise.

Not sure how to do "you should make a https request with eduroam credentials to the captive portal to sign in to eduroam network" .

I need to be logged in to eduroam with my laptop first and then run the example code WifiNINA, Connectwith WPA?

The solution is to have a dedicated network for the Arduino WiFi. This not Not a "subset" of eduroam. A dedicated network would have to be configured by the "IT department."

This is for commercial/educational applications of Arduino WiFi. "Home networks" already have a dedicated network.
