802.1x help needed

[skateboardt]

Hi

I just moved into an apartment block and we get free WiFi but problem is my Xbox One can't connect to the WiFi as it uses 802.1x authentication which Xbox doesn't support. I have asked the administrators if they can white list my Xbox mac address so it bypasses the authentication but they said not possible. My question is can I buy a wireless router then connect said router to the WiFi then connect my Xbox to the routers WiFi? Any help will be highly appreciated.

More than likely vendor uses VLANs.

Most consumer routers dont support vlans. Best solution if ask them to configure a access port instead and cable the xbox.

Adhoc a wifi router onto their wifi. Connect your xbox to the router you got
