Personal devices such as smart TVs, gaming consoles, Alexa devices, HomePods, and other home automation devices can be connected to the UWSUPER Wi-Fi network or the campus wired network.
These devices generally do not work with eduroam and must first be registered through the My Devices portal.

Sign in using your UWS credentials.

Under Device Name, enter a name for the device. Do not include special characters or symbols.

Under Device ID, enter the device's MAC address. This may also be called the Wi-Fi address or hardware address and can usually be found in the device's network settings.
The MAC address should use a format similar to:
00:00:00:00:00:00

Click Submit.

On the registered device, select UWSUPER from the available Wi-Fi networks.
Wired Devices
If the device will use an Ethernet connection, register the Ethernet/LAN MAC address instead of the wireless MAC address.
The Ethernet port in the residence hall room must also be activated by ResNet before the device can connect.
Contact ResNet:
When requesting port activation, include:
- Building
- Room number
- Whether the left or right port should be activated when facing the window in the room
