I created a new test case and typed one command:

WebUI.openBrowser("")

When I ran it, it came with an error:

I had tried with any URLs and any browsers. It happened the same.

However, it worked when I switched to another network.

Are there any configurations to edit if I really wish to use this network?

It looks different to this error. I cannot find such the port running this. Unable to find free port

There is No driver is set for execution. in your error trace. Make sure you have the right version of Chromedriver. You should update the version to match your Chrome version. How to update.

Also, see that your execution settings are ok.

And finally, your error trace shows you are using DriverFactory class. You might need to add the path to Chromedriver at the top of your script:

System.setProperty(‘webdriver.chrome.driver’, ‘path to chromedriver’)

6 
System.setProperty('webdriver.chrome.driver','/Applications/Katalon Studio.app/Contents/Eclipse/configuration/resources/drivers/chromedriver_mac/chromedriver')
WebUI.openBrowser("https://www.google.com/ncr")

With these commands above, the error remains the same. Chromedriver is matched at the first glance. The most wondering part is that just changing the SSID to connect makes it work already.
