PRS-T2 Does not support WPA2 Enterprise

AprilHare · 09-14-2012, 02:41 AM

Just came to university with my new shiny (with matte finish actually) PRS-T2 (was told by Sony salesman there was a plastic cover in the package, never thought of foam throwaway as a plastic cover!) and discovered it won't connect to the university wireless network because it doesn't support WPA2 Enterprise.
Come on Sony, a few cents extra and this thing will work at my university!

What gives?

Our university has the same problem - Cisco network, WPA2 Enterprise. We solved it by creating another network that allows users to login and register the MAC address for their reader (x-box, nintendo, etc ...) and get wireless access using a password.

Obviously we all can't do that. I am unimpressed that this should be considered a consumer issue.
