Need help with apple tv for college

OK, i have searched for an hour or 2 and have not found a satisfactory answer to my problem so I decided to write my own.

Things I own : Macbook Pro

Apple Tv

USB to Micro

HDMI cables

First off my problem is a wifi/airplay problem

Alright so here is the dealio, To get my Apple Tv to airplay with my Macbook Pro I have to have them both on the same wifi. So when I click to connect to The wifi Which is a WPA2 Enterprise Wifi in which for the Apple TV to connect to I need to have a profile installed on it. From what I had read that meant I need Apple Configurator for Mac. So i got Configurator and hooked my Apple TV to the computer with the USB to Micro. I was able to create a profile as needed (or at least I think i did, you'll find out why in a second) So i clicked to confirm the profile for my apple TV and it made it to the check mark of Profile Success! So when I turn my apple tv on I still can't connect to the internet. I don't know what I did wrong. Here are some things that i dot know if they are useful but I know them:

I know the Ip, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS and the MAC Address of the wifi. Some other things also is that when I connect my Apple tv a pop up comes up for i configurator and i used that pop up to guide me through. My apple tv does not show up under the devices heading under supervise (if it is even suppose to i don't know)

Please help any suggestions are welcome especially if they are an original problem-solution over the Try these links:

First, you'll need to connect your AppleTV to your college LAN with the help of your college IT admin.

Next connect ATV hdmi cable to a TV.

Next connect you Mac to the same network.
