There are a lot of consumer grade wireless devices that don't work with Enterprise wireless networks (such as what WSU uses). In order to get around this, we are now providing a service called ClearPass! With ClearPass you should be able to get almost any wireless enabled device connected to our network.

Things that you will need

  • A device already connected to the network with a web browser, such as a phone or computer.
  • The device that you wish to connect and its MAC address.

If you do not know what the MAC address is of your device is, visit: https://accc.uic.edu/answer/how-do-i-find-mac-address-my-specific-device or contact your RTA or ASIS representive and they may assist you.

MAC stands for Media Access Control and is not to be confused with Apple's lineup of computers.
