Note that there are two distinct forms of WPA2. WPA2-PSK (Pre Shared Key) is what most home and small office wireless networks use. This is the form where everybody connects to the network using the same passphrase. Basically any mobile device today can easily connect using WPA2-PSK. I would assume the reMarkable can do this.

The other form is WPA2 Enterprise, and uses 802.1x authentication. This is usually used by larger organisations, and can use various different authentication methods such as username/password, certificates, smartcards etc. Connecting to these networks in Linux can be a real PITA (I had to do this on a Raspberry Pi earlier this year, it wasn't fun). It would not surprise me if the reMarkable cannot connect to this type of network.
