When viewing the available Wi-Fi networks in your area, you may see one that has the following characters: (802.1X). In order to connect to it, you first need to have an account.
If you've already registered for an account with the device you're using to connect to 802.1X, then you're good to go; if you haven't, connect to the regular wireless network first and follow these steps before attempting to connect to the 802.1X network. Also, please be sure that you have already added your other devices to your account. See this article for assistance with adding a device to your account.
If your device was just added to your account, be patient as you attempt to connect to the 802.1X network. There may a brief period during which the network is validating your account login information in order to grant access to this device. No need for concern. Please be aware that not all devices will be compatible for a connection to 802.1X due to the level of encryption on the network.
If you already have an account or have just created one, in either case make sure to note your username and password as you'll need them to authenticate yourself on the 802.1X network.
