Surface Pro (Win 8.1) having issues with Enterprise WiFi

Hi everyone,Having some trouble with my Surface Pro connecting to the WiFi at Uni.Setup at Unitec:There are multiple SSIDs wherever you go (nearly a dozen at any given time, not joking, all run by Unitec). Students have one where the network doesn't have a password but when you reconnect, you are directed to a login page on your web browser where we log in with our normal login credentials (same ones as the student portal for grades etc and the windows PCs on campus). We also have staff networks that require a username and password to log in immediately, like the student one except without the webpage (pretty sure its WPA2 enterprise or something along those lines? I haven't been taught much about WiFi security yet.) Since I'm employed by Unitec as well, I tend to use this as in the past, I never have to enter my details again until I change my password or something. This worked fine on my MacBook Air (Mavericks), iPad Mini and iPhone 5. My Surface however doesn't like it. I connect to it fine, but if it goes to sleep, it disconnects and I have to re-login again each time, even when I tick the box to automatically reconnect.When I connected my iPad and iPhone, they prompted me to allow certificates to be installed. But the Mac and Surface did not.Is there something to do with the certificates perhaps? Like I said, I'm not so sure about how this works so it's a learning experience haha. Appreciate any help in advance. I'm a bit embarrassed asking the support desk on campus for help though, given I'm studying computers and employed by the Department of Computing as well lolCheers,Sam
