Apple TV doesn’t support connecting to networks that require both a username and a password (captive network portal).

  • For semi-permanent use (corporate/edu), you can ask the network administrator to install a device profile with these credentials built-in for automatic network sign-on. It will always sign in with these credentials (no user settings), as long as the profile is installed.
  • For temporary use (e.g. hotels), you are far better off by using a travel router (non-hotspot) to bridge between the existing network and your personal devices.
