Does your old Mac also uses wi-fi for internet access?

WPA2 is normally used on a mobile device to connect to wi-fi hotspot. You may have to install a certificate as well in case a secure connection is used. You would have to check the instructions from the provider of this connection to see how to proceed and set up the connection.

You say :

"The WPA2 provided to me does not work"

Maybe you should ask whoever it was that provided the WPA2 to you (?)
