Missing support for WPA2 Enterprise wireless networks #497

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Attempt to connect to any WPA2 Enterprise network.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: A prompt to enter a username and password to join the network, and 
eventual proxy
Actual: Just a password field, which makes it impossible to connect.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Chromecast Iphone app :v1.9.2766 ; Chromecast v22062

Please provide any additional information below.

Reopening issue #326. 
https://code.google.com/p/google-cast-sdk/issues/detail?id=326
As stated by comment#8 :
"Now that Chromecast supports guest mode 
(https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6109286) which presumably uses a 
different discovery mechanism to broadcast packets, the original response to 
this issue is no longer valid."

There is a stronger need to display information on tv screens across offices, 
and chromecast can definitely be part of the solution as it's so far the most 
flexible device on the market. However, not being able to connect to 
WPA2-Enterprises network makes it unusable in the corporate world.

Thanks in advance !

Please enter your comments in the original issue, opening a new issue for an 
older one is not the right approach.

Currently there are no plans to support that and that is why the status of the 
original issue has not been changed.

I agree that simply dismissing the request based on an assumption is unwise. 
There really is a business need for something that can be used in a corporate 
network. Especially, since tablets are becoming more prevalent in businesses 
for presentations and meetings I would hope someone would reconsider this 
stance. Is it stands right now, I am being forced to look into other solutions.

There is also a huge market at universities because many of them (like mine) 
have started phasing out cable in the dorm rooms. I got one over winter break 
because my roommates and I are tired of fighting over who has to leave their 
laptop plugged in by the TV so we can watch movies. I thought that it would 
allow me to play movies on the TV while browsing the internet on my computer in 
my lofted bed. But since my college uses WPA2 the chromecast is useless, and my 
roommates are making me buy an apple TV. Would have been great to actually use 
this thing. Seems like it wouldn't be an outrageous fix.
