Smart TVs and Apple TVs are unable to connect to the wireless networks on campus, but wired connections are available in all the residence halls.
Below are the steps to connect your Smart TV to the wired network.
You will need a Cat-5e or Cat-6 Ethernet cable. Below is an example of an Ethernet cable.
Note: If you live in Russell Hall, you will need to request a port activation. You will receive an email letting your know your port has been activated. Then you can proceed to the first step.
