WIFI requires Username

johannes_sa

Hi,

I received my Argus 2 today that I bought to monitor a construction site.
There is a Wifi network available, that requires a username & a password.
I know ... 99,9% of all Wifi networks only need a password.
Now ... I tried to setup the argus, but there is no field where I can fill in my username for the Wifi network. There's only the standard field for entering a password.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

WiFi has no provision for "user name". WiFi access points broadcast network "names" (SSIDs) and have an (optional) password. If this WiFi network requires a user name, that sounds like a form of authentication AFTER a device is connected to the access point. (Such as in hotels, coffee shops, airports, etc.) I know of NO WiFi security camera that has a provision for this.

If you come across a camera that IS able to do this, please post a link to it.

Hi there, Reolink cameras cannot work with this kind of WiFi, it is more like a public WiFi, Reolink cameras can only work with WiFi that only requires the SSID and password.

Thanks for your feedback.
Just to clarify: It's not a hotel's Wifi.
It's the Wifi of my provider. On Windows devices it's working this way:
- open the network (wifi) tab
- select the SSID
- then you immediately see "username" and "password"

Hotel networks normally work this way:
- you open the network tab
- you select the SSID (that is not secured)
- you connect and get routed to a webpage where you have to enter your credentials
