ResnetDevices - Devices such as game consoles, streaming media devices (i.e. Roku, Firestick), smart TV’s, and Blu-ray players typically do not support the high encryption protocol used on the Resnet wireless network. Access to this wireless network is controlled by a network pre-shared key and having the MAC (media access controller) address of your device registered.
Finding the MAC address of your device varies greatly by product so we will simply suggest using a search engine such as Google to learn how to find your device’s MAC address.
Once you have the device MAC address, use another connected device that has a internet connection to access the web page https://extremecontrol.cobleskill.edu/self_registration. Enter your Cobleskill username and password then click Login, you will then need to read and then check the box to agree with the acceptable use policy then click "Complete Registration"
To add a device first click "Add". Enter the MAC address and a description of the device you would like registered and then click "Submit". Your device is now successfully registered! You can connect to ResnetDevices using the pre-shared key Cobleskill.
Wired Connections - If you are connecting your laptop, television or gaming device via a wired Ethernet connection you will still need to register the Wired MAC Address of your device, to connect please use the black network jacks labeled P1 and P2.
