Step-by-step guide

To register a device on Ethernet

Some Gaming Devices and Smart TVs may connect to the Wireless Network using ASU-Visitor. For a more reliable connection, we highly recommend connecting any of these devices using an Ethernet Cable. The device must be registered on the ASU network in order to gain a secure Ethernet connection.

Steps for registering your Gaming Device or Smart TV:

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the device and to the port in the wall 

2. Locate the Wired/LAN MAC address for your device (Can be found in the System Settings or Network Settings)

3. Submit a support request for personally owned devices. Be sure to include the device MAC address and your residence hall in the support request Click Here to submit a support request.
