TUDevice allows students to connect devices that do not use 802.1X authentication, like XBox, Playstations, Smart Assistants such as Amazon Echo or Google Home, and other devices that do not support WiFi that requires login information. Students should self-register all their devices since TUDevice will automatically block devices it does not recognize. Students take responsibility for the devices they register and do not register devices for other students. Each student can register up to 10 devices.
This is a two step process: You will Register your device and connect the device to TUDevice network.
