    If it requries logging in via a Wi-Fi connection the ATV cannot do this as there is no web browser.

     

    Contact the people that support the Wi-Fi and see if they can/will add the ATV to the device whitelist.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

     

    If you need to sign in via a web browser, you are not going to be able to do this because the Apple TV doesn't have have one.

     

    If it's just a regular ID and password then this can be done as you would set up the Apple TV with any home network, but the Apple TV may not be able to communicate with your other devices because of network restrictions which can be imposed on communal networks.
