After registering, how do I connect to the wired or wireless network?

See below for wired connections or follow the wireless instructions in the next section based on your device.

Use the wired network for devices with an Ethernet port that don’t move (e.g., a dock for your laptop, a desktop computer, or a gaming console) or devices for which you need a very fast internet connection (e.g., a gaming computer).

Residential Buildings

Before students can use the wired network in their dorms, students must register their MAC address and may need port activation.

• Funnelle/Oneida Halls: 

  1. Register your device’s MAC address on the campus device portal.

  2. Submit a ticket with CTS to set up port activation. Provide your building and room#, network port name, and port color.

How to Connect to 802.1x Enterprise WiFi on Raspberry Pi ?

When you are trying to connect to 802.1x WiFi with WPA enterprise on Raspberry Pi,  you will see the WiFi access point is greyed out on Raspberry Pi, like below. It is because Raspberry Pi is using the simple network service on the GUI, which doesn't support enterprise WiFi.  However, Raspberry Pi supports 802.1x enterprise WiFi. And the simplest way to set up the connection to 802.1x enterprise WiFi on Raspberry Pi is to use the standard Linux network manager to replace the simple network service. In this tutorial, we will walk through how to set it up.  

1. Open the terminal window on Raspberry Pi, and run the following commands to get the standard Linux network manager installed.

sudo apt install network-manager network-manager-gnome
sudo systemctl disable --now dhcpcd
sudo systemctl enable --now network-manager

sudo reboot

Explanation:

1st line is to install the Linux network manager

2nd line is to disable the DHCP, because DHCP will not work with the network manager

3rd line is to enable the network manager service

Last line is to reboot the device.

1. After rebooting the device, you will be able to see a new network icon, click on the icon, you will not be able to connect to the 802.1x enterprise WiFi.
2. Then fill in the information as you normally do with 802.1x enterprise WiFi connection, and you will now be able to connect to the network.
   1. Configure the WiFi settings as below:

   2. EAP Method	PEAP
      EAP Phase 2 Authentication	MSCHAPv2
      Server CA Certificate	Not Needed
      Domain (Not on all Chrome OS Versions have this listed)	oswego.edu
      Identity	[Your Laker NetID]
      Password	[Your LakerApps Password]

3. That's it! You're ready to go.

Note: To download and install the network manager, you will need an internet connection first. Please consider having it connected to a wired network or another normal WiFi network first to get it set up.

• Press the Home button on your Roku remote

• Go to Settings > Network > Set up connection

• Choose Wireless (if you are using an Ethernet cable, choose Wired)

• If using Wi-Fi, pick your network and enter the password
