Hi all,

Quick question for all of you who are in or previously were living at Osgoode Chambers.

 

Are the issues with connecting smart TV's and gaming consoles (ps4) to Wi-Fi at Passy new, or always an issue?

You're not supposed to plug in a console or smart TV, but folks have done it. 

You need to install a WiFi router using the LAN wire and then hook that up with a laptop. You then go through York's setup for a LAN connection on the laptop. 

Not intuitive or fun, but you can get it working.

Maybe policies have changed? You can connect your smart TV to the wifi network and get it's mac address whitelisted.

Can I connect my smart TV to the new ResNet?

Wired network connection (recommended):simply plug your TV into the data port marked either LAN 2 or LAN 3 on the CISCO wall mount AP.

WiFi network connection: send a request to whitelist WiFi MAC address of your TV, please complete a Problem Report Form.

Oh hey that's definitely new! My information is a couple of years old, glad to see they've finally changed the policy around this stuff.

Out of curiosity have folks had any luck using game streaming services like Google Stadia or NVidia Shield?
