Question
How do I connect my game console with ethernet (wired internet) in the residence halls?
Answer
- Plug an ethernet cable into the wall port or access point and then into your game console
- Important: Only plug the cable into LAN1, LAN2 or LAN3. The ports labeled Console or Pass-Thru will not provide internet.
- Locate your wired MAC address
- Fill out the Network Device Registration Form on MyState
- You can find it in the list of forms on your MyState Dashboard
- Wait until the top of the hour passes (e.g. If you fill out the form at 2:05pm, wait until after 3:00pm)
- Unplug your ethernet cable and plug it back in and/or reboot the console
