Quick Solutions

  • Ensure your device's MAC address has been added to the "My Devices" portal. If you need help finding the MAC address of your device, please see our Knowledgebase for more information.

    For iPhone users, make sure the "Private Wi-Fi Address" option is disabled.

  • At Eastern, there are 3 available Wi-Fi connections: eduroam, ECSU-BYOD and ECSU-BYOD5

    We highly recommend using ECSU-BYOD5 and ECSU-BYOD when BYOD5 is not available. BYOD5 provides that fastest internet speeds on campus.

    eduroam is only meant for those who travel between CT State College campuses.
