Eduroam is our recommended network for access on campus and in student residences, however you may have a device which cannot connect to the eduroam network. Some examples are Smart TV's, Games Consoles, Wireless Printers, Amazon Alexa and other smart devices.
You'll need to use your laptop or phone to register your device, so make sure you've connected it to eduroam wifi already.
If you have a username that doesn’t include your ID number (students) or end with a number (staff), make sure you enter it correctly.
- Click Create a Device and give it a name
- Enter the MAC address (normally a 12 digit number separated by a colon such as 01:23:45:67:ab:cd) of your device
- Tick Enable Air Group if your device is an Apple TV or Wireless printer
- Click Create Device
- Power off the device for 2 minutes to allow the system to register it (we really do mean 2 minutes, go make yourself a cup of tea)
- Power your device back on then connect it to StudentResidences wifi
