- Connect all gaming systems, Smart TVs, and streaming devices to the BU Guest/Open Wireless network.
- Please note any device that requires you to use an app on your smartphone to communicate directly to the device in question for setup will not work on the BU Guest/Open Wireless network for security and performance reasons (e.g., a wireless speaker or Google Home). If the device does not support the WPA2 Enterprise wireless method, it will also not be able to connect via Butler Secure wireless either. If a portable speaker is desired, Butler recommends one that is compatible with Bluetooth.
- For users who wish to connect their gaming system to Ethernet, plug the device into an Ethernet port if available.
- What is Ethernet and When to Use It (Students)
- Ethernet ports in residence halls
- Note: Butler Terrace and South Campus Apartments only have Wi-Fi available. Other residence halls may be limited on active network ports. If you have an active network port in your room but you wish to have additional network ports, please feel free to purchase a small unmanaged switch. If you have questions on what switch might be appropriate for purchase please feel free to submit a case by clicking Create New Case on this page.
If you have questions or issues, click Create New Case on this page and submit a case for Information Technology.
