Summary
This article will help you register and connect Xbox, PlayStation, Apple TV, Internet Enabled TV, Roku, and other streaming devices on campus.
Body
Your Xbox, PlayStation, Apple TV, Roku, Smart TV, or other streaming device will require an extra step in order to connect to network on campus.
Disclaimers
Wireless printers are not supported. Please connect your device directly to them via USB.
Samsung TVs don't work on the network. This is due to Samsung devices not supporting enterprise networks; we have an open ticket with Samsung on this issue. In the meantime, we recommend buying a streaming device that can connect to your Samsung TV's HDMI port.
TCL Fire TVs at first will need to be connected to a hotspot in order to obtain the MAC address.
If you need more Ethernet ports than are available in your room, use an Ethernet switch. (Do not use a router, as it will cause network issues)
