Connecting Other Devices to In-Dorm WiFi

Connecting Other Devices to In-Dorm WiFi

For other devices (gaming consoles, printers, smart TV’s, streaming devices, etc.) that only support PSK (pre-shared key) WiFi, there is a network called LaTechIoT. You will need to use your desktop/laptop/tablet/smartphone to log into wifimgr and generate a password for each device with its MAC address. Devices can be removed and passwords re-generated from the same page. If you need help finding the MAC address for your device here are the steps for some common devices:

Nintendo Switch

1. Select System Settings from the HOME Menu.
2. Scroll down through the menu and select Internet.
3. The Nintendo Switch console’s MAC address will be listed under System MAC Address.

Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S

1. Go to My Xbox in the Xbox Dashboard and select Settings.
2. In the Settings pane, select Network.
3. Select Advanced Settings from the Network Settings tab.
4. At the bottom of this screen you’ll see a heading called Wired and Wireless MAC.

PS4

1. Power on the PS4 without a disc in the system.
2. In the PS4 menu, arrow up and select Settings.
3. Scroll down to Network.
4. Scroll down to View Connection Status.
5. The MAC Address will be listed next to MAC Address (LAN) and MAC Address (Wi-Fi).

PS5

If your device is not listed, you can look up the device online and find instructions for finding the MAC address.

Registering Devices to the Network
