Below is a list of popular devices that are registerable and non-registerable on the University’s network(s). Some devices are non-registerable due to either security reasons or hardware incompatibility.
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 App State network in order to gain a secure Ethernet connection.
Step-by-step guide
To register a gaming device or smart TV on campus:
Connect an Ethernet cable to the device and to the port in the wall
Locate the Wired/LAN MAC address for your device (which can be found in the System or Network Settings)
Submit a device registration service request for personally owned devices. Be sure to include the device MAC address and your residence hall in the request.
You will receive an email notification when your device has been registered and admitted into the network. If you have additional questions, please contact our IT Support Center at 828-262-8324 option 4.
*Note: If your device has already been registered and you move to a different room or another dorm, you do not have to submit a new support request to have your device registered again.
