Q. I have a wireless printer. Can I use it to print wirelessly on the smith network?

Q. I want to use my Apple TV or Roku product on campus. Is this possible?
A. Yes! You can connect your Apple TV or Roku device to the Smith network. However, please note that you will not be able to use AirPlay or similar home WiFi-based services to control the device or play remote content.
To register your device on the network, you will need to provide the MAC address of your device to the User Support Center (x4487) so they can manually register your device for network access.
