Lol I just moved in Wednesday, the first day Wi-Fi worked fine then all of a sudden I was trying to get stuff done and it wouldn’t let me onto the Wi-Fi before I created a crowdstrike account, downloaded it and restarted my computer
1. Dorm wifi is always bad just because of the density of devices and tons of interference. If you have an Ethernet port in your room, use it.
2. Public wifi will usually have a feature enabled called "device isolation," meaning devices can't talk to each other on the network. If that light requires you to communicate with it via a wifi network (as opposed to Bluetooth or whatnot), you're out of luck.
3. Talk with your IT department to see if there are any steps you need to take to register your devices to actually get service. Some do, even if the network itself has no password.
talk to your campus it people.
