I brought my xbox one to college because I knew I'd be getting destiny for it while I was there. But when I tried to connect to the campus wifi with the same password I used to connect my iphone, iPad, and laptop, it wouldn't go. Any general tips I could try?
And before anyone throws a fit, my education is my first priority. Gaming will come later with any free time I have.
***Edit*** I was recently informed that my college doesn't allow consoles to connect to the wifi at all. I will have to wait until I can get a wired connection. Thank you for help everyone!

My solution was to simply connect my xbox to my PC via a bridged connection, and then just connect the PC to the internet. Boom, unblocked. If you want to know how to do that: -You will NEED an extra ethernet port on your PC, if you don't have one to spare, like I didn't, you will need one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Ethernet-Adapter-Black/dp/B00ET4KHJ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408831589&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+ethernet+adapter -How to bridge a connection to your Xbox console: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/networking/connect-live-using-pc The reason this works is because your Xbox is using your PC as a proxy to connect to the LAN. Basically, all the router sees is your PC connecting, even though it is your Xbox using the internet. DISCLAIMER: Obviously this will only work while your PC is turned ON and connected to the internet. You're welcome and good luck!
