Games consoles

Some devices that can use wireless only have a small screen and limited facilities for typing. These include smartphones, tablets, games consoles and the Apple TV. Where possible, it's best to connect them to eduroam, as you only have to enter the credentials once. However, some, notably games consoles, can't connect to eduroam because they don't support WPA2-Enterprise connections.

In these cases you will have to connect them to wolfradiolan as above. But rather than having to log in with a web browser each time, you can register the MAC address of the device. Here are instructions for finding the MAC address of the most common games consoles. Once you have registered the device, you will not need to log in after connecting.

Remember that you are still responsible for any use you make of the device on our network.
