Is there a workaround for WiFi problems with the Note 5 and Aruba?

I recently purchased a Note 5 and can no longer connect to my WiFi at work which runs off of Aruba APs.  I don't know much more than that.  I was able to connect with no problem with my Samsung Galaxy S5, but the note seems incompatible, no matter what I try.  I can connect to other wifi without a problem (at home, to my work phone, etc.).

Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

Can you long press your wifi connection and tell me what options you have? Thanks.

Have you tried manually adding the wifi? Do they use static ip's?
What do you mean manually?  I tap the SSID and add information that way.  We use static IPs for the computers, but wifi is DHCP, not sure about APs, but I imagine they are static.
no real answer to this. an att rep thought it might be the splash page.  my helpdesk Asus it is a known incompatibility that they ate not currently addressing.
