How do I connect my games console or smart TV to the student network (Wireless)?
To connect the device you will need to:
- Find the MAC address of your device. Instructions for this vary from device to device. We have included instructions for some common devices below
 - Register the MAC address of your device (Where can I do that?)
 - Generate your personal key to use as a password when connecting to the PAU-IoT network (How do I do that?)
- Note: If you have an existing key and are already using the network with another device, use the existing key for all devices. The key is used as a password when connecting to the PAU-IoT network. Generating a new key will cause your current one to expire
 
 - Wait at least 10 minutes
 - Connect the device to PAU-IoT with your personal key
 
Do not share your key with anyone. The key will only work for your registered devices, although if someone else knows your key; you can re-visit the page and generate a new one. This will cause your old key to expire and will disconnect any devices using it.
Find the MAC address: (The MAC address is made up of 12 characters e.g. 00:11:22:AA:66:DD)
