Trouble connecting blu-ray to wifi (1 Viewer)

[Clueless in college]

I am a university student and I live on campus. The university supplies free wifi to every student but I cannot get my Blu Ray player to connect to the network. The problem is that everytime I try to connect my player asks me for the password to the network, but in order to get on the network I need to use a password AND a username. There is no place to enter the username. I have tried using just my password or just my username but naturally this didn't work. Is there any way to get my blu-ray player to look for both username and password? Or is this simply not possible.

The player is a Samsung, model number BD-EM57C

Unfortunately, you will not be able to connect your Blu-ray player in that fashion to your school's wifi. And I don't think the school wants you too, either. If everyone on campus connected their smart TV, Blu-ray player, or smart device (Roku, Chromecast, etc) the network would likely come to a screeching halt.

Do you have an ethernet port in your dorm room? If so, you could get a cheap wireless router and connect that way.

I would not recommend doing this. It is the fastest way to have said port disabled, as most IT staff do not look kindly upon rogue APs connected to their network. As an example, here's Cleveland State's network policy: http://www.csuohio.edu/sites/default/files/media/security/documents/UniversityNetworkPolicy.pdf
