Connecting to a Wireless Network

For basic setup instructions by platform, consult this knowledgebase article. 

Consumer Devices (Gaming Consoles, SmartTVs, media players)

This network is for consumer devices that are not capable of connecting to an 802.1x wireless network, such as gaming consoles, Apple TVs, blu-ray players, etc. These devices need to be registered before they can connect to the wireless network. You will need to find and submit the device's MAC address on the Xmisc registration form.

Personal Wireless Routers

• Personal wireless routers and wireless printers are prohibited at Xavier. Both types of devices broadcast their own wireless networks, hindering your computer's ability to communicate with Xavier's wireless access points. The interference from these devices is the most common source of intermittent and unreliable wireless connections in the dorms.

Having Connection Issues?

• Your network driver may be out-of-date. If you have an Intel-brand wireless adapter, Update your current network adapter driver here: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect
