This article gives info on the working of Game consoles on the USNH wi-fi community.

Content

Overview

Game consoles will solely work on the -Open (eg UNH-Open, KSC-Open, or PSU-Open) community because of the lack of assist for enterprise-level community authentication and encryption. The -Open community just isn’t encrypted and customers must be conscious that information transferred over that community lacks any stage of community encryption.

Game consoles on the -Open community are given public IPs to alleviate any NAT-related points, and to phase them from all different wi-fi customers.

USNH’s community entry management (NAC) system detects recreation consoles robotically and assigns these specialised fingerprints to their connection. If you could have a recreation consoles that isn’t behaving because it ought to, that computerized detection could also be failing. If you could have questions or considerations please contact the Help Desk team in your native campus. 

Registration

Like all different network-capable gadgets, recreation consoles have to be registered on the UNH Network. Game consoles with out browsers will have to be registered through the non-browser system registration device accessible at Network Registration. You will want the Hardware (MAC) handle of the system, which might typically be discovered below the community settings. See detailed directions in our article on Connecting a Game Console on the USNH Wireless Network.

Important observe: The newer the know-how on a recreation console, the higher the expertise on the UNH community. Older fashions like Xbox One, PS3, sure PS4s, and Nintendo Wiis will both carry out poorly or in no way on the USNH enterprise community. We strongly suggest any recreation console introduced on campus be able to not less than 802.11ax wi-fi know-how.
