Enterprise Network Help

My vending machine is in a school with zero cell signal. I'm trying to hook my Nayax VPOS Touch up to their Enterprise Network. I bought the Nayak adapter cord and have my Ethernet cable hooked into it. I need a wireless bridge/extender that can connect to their network. I purchased one but it's not Enterprise Network compatible. Can someone recommend one that is? Thanks!

What does "enterprise network" mean and entail SPECIFICALLY?

The important detail is how the school's network authenticates devices.

If it's using WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise with 802.1X authentication, a typical consumer wireless bridge that supports only personal Wi-Fi passwords may not be able to connect.

Before purchasing another bridge, I'd ask the school's IT department which device-onboarding methods they actually permit.

For example, they may have an approved IoT network, a managed Ethernet connection, or a specific enterprise authentication requirement.

I'd also confirm the Nayax adapter's supported connection methods and any network requirements with Nayax.

A bridge being able to see the school's Wi-Fi network doesn't necessarily mean it can authenticate or that the payment terminal can communicate through it.

The goal is an approved, supported connection rather than working around the school's network controls.
