Configuration file prusa_printer_settings.ini
In my house I have perfectly configured the wifi module. At work I have the following problem: Wi-Fi also requires specifying a user. How can I enter this data in the prusa_printer_settings.ini file? In the documentation it only contemplates specifying: network name and password. I need to specify also user name. Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Hello Pep,
did you solve the problem any way?

If your wifi requires username then usually it requires 802.1X - so it's something like WPA Enterprise with EAP, which is quite commonly used with Eduroam.
AFAIR Prusa printers firmware do not support this, so you have very few options:
- ask network admins to add special exceptions to the device usually via WIFI/Ethernet MAC address and assigning to specific restricted VLAN
- use additional device which supports it - such as Raspberry Pi Zero W https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/general-discussion-user-experience-ideas/eduroam-network-access/
- as above but make it a bridging network so that some wireless client connects to the EAP protected network and then creates direct ethernet/wifi link (can be hidden ssid maybe) between itself and the printer - that could be probably also done with Raspberry Pi or some wifi routers with mikrotik/OpenWRT software on it.
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.
