If you wish to connect your gaming console or other device to the Residence Hall internet, you must register the system on the Registration site. You need to know the MAC address of your system. Go to the registration site, select your device type, input your NetID, password, and MAC address, and click Register.
To ensure successful registration, leave your device plugged into the internet for 5-10 minutes before attempting to register it.
Activate NetID

For most gaming consoles, the MAC address can be found under System Settings, System, or Network Settings.
If you need assistance locating the MAC address of your device, please contact the OIT Support Center.
