Current students, faculty, and staff can register personal devices for WiFi access, even if they don’t support authentication with a username and password. This article provides instructions on how to register personal devices such as Xbox, Roku, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, and more to access the TSC_IOT WiFi network. This registration should be performed using the username and password of the person who owns the device.
Prior to beginning the registration process, you will need your device’s wireless MAC address. A wireless MAC address is a 12-digit alphanumeric code unique to each wireless device, for example, 00:1B:44:11:3A:B7.
NOTE: Do NOT register laptops, tablets, or smartphones to connect to the TSC_IOT WiFi network. Laptops, tablets, and smartphones should connect to the TSC_WiFi network using your username and password.

5. On the Create tab, you will see the following “The device was successfully created.”
6. Your device will now appear as a registered device under your account at the bottom of the page
7. Under NETWORKS, Select TSC_IOT
8. Your device should show a successful login to the network. (Note: If you experience issues joining your device, please review the MAC address and name entered in step 4 above.)
