Instead, please do the following:

Click or tap on Network & Internet settings > Wi-Fi > Network and Sharing Center
Click on “Set up a new connection or network”
Click on Manually connect to a wireless network“, and then Next
Enter SMIS-WIN for the network name, and choose WPA2-Enterprise for the Security type
Make sure that “Start this connection automatically” is selected, and then click Next
At the next step, click on “Change connection settings”
In the “SMIS-WIN Wireless Network Properties” window, click on the Security tab
For “Choose a network authentication method,” make sure that “Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP)” is selected, and click the Settings button
Uncheck the box “Verify the server's identity by validating the certificate,” and click OK
Click OK to close the “SMIS-WIN Wireless Network Properties” window
Click Close to close the wireless connection window

You should now be connected to the SMIS-WIN.

Troubleshooting

If you're unable to connect, try the following steps:

Verify that you're entering the correct user name and (case-sensitive) password.
In case you are prompted for a password only (but not user name), follow these steps:
In the Security tab of the Wireless Network Properties dialog, click on the “Advanced settings” button

Make sure that “User or computer authentication” is selected
If you continue to experience difficulties, open the Control Panel and go to “Manage Wireless Networks”. Select the SMIS-WIN network and click the “Remove” button. Then try again from the start.
