Technicians found an issue on the Device Registration page, mydevices.pnw.edu, used to register devices for the Calnet Media WiFi network (primarily used in the dorms).  Users were unable to register devices on this website.

In the meantime, any devices that are unable to connect to Eduroam (i.e. smart TVs, Roku/Amazon sticks, some game consoles) would have needed to be manually registered by our technicians.  Users needed to send an email to the CSC (csc@pnw.edu) with the following information if they needed a device registered:

• Your name and PNW username (if not sending from your PNW email address)
• Location (building & room #)
• Type of Device
• Type of connection (Wired/Ethernet or Wireless/WiFi)
• MAC address (make sure it matches the connection type)
• Your phone number
