RESNET-GUEST-DEVICE
Devices without browser support or support for 5GHz Wi-Fi will need to be registered for—and connect to—the RESNET-GUEST-DEVICE network. You will need to first register your devices at mydevices.ucsd.edu using their MAC address. We maintain steps to find the MAC address of common devices here: Common Devices.
Once you have registered your device, connect it to RESNET-GUEST-DEVICE with the password ResnetConnect
. Your device should be able to connect if it is registered.
