I have a Samsung laptop with built-in wifi capabilities but when attempting to connect to my university's wifi I am suddenly unable to do so.

I apparently don't have a CA certificate though I have downloaded 2 and tried a few suggestions as suggested on various forums.

I have connected to this same WIFI connection (even connecting the day before yesterday) but I am suddenly unable to connect.

Please let me know of any other details which I should provide (I am not very technologically savy.

thanks

Your university probably uses WPA2 Enterprise authentication. This is probably set up to have a PKI, or at the very least encrypt the authentication. The CA certificate is the one that signed the certificate of the RADIUS server handling the authentication. I think it would be best to contact the IT helpdesk and ask them for the CA certificate.
