Ubuntu 18.04 WiFi access not authenticating [duplicate]

  • 772

I've had this problem since 16.04 and hoped it would resolve itself in 18.04. Since it hasn't, I'm making this post:

My GalagoPro running Ubuntu 18.04 connects at home without issue. Username and Password and without issue, I connect on home WiFi. Hotel WiFi, I connect without issue... Again, username and PW, and I'm on.

For whatever reason, it's not so simple in a specific university WiFi network. I am able to connect my iPhone without issue to it, Username and Password...no issues. But Ubuntu 18.04(and 16.04 for that matter) refuses to authenticate on this specific network.

I go into the security tab (Network Settings) and my eyes bleed. Can someone help me navigate these settings? Is there a guide out there? Honestly, I'm thinking it shouldn't be this hard to get on a wifi... the iPhone seems to keep it simple, why not Ubuntu? shrugs

EDIT::

Are you familiar with the settings on the wireless router? What security is setup there?

I have no idea. That being said, if there are specific questions I should be asking the IT department, let me know.

  1. The issue I was having was resolved with the following settings for the WiFi network:
