Before You Begin

Geneseo uses MAC address authentication for its Residential Network (ResNet). This requires devices to be registered before they are allowed to connect.  All devices that wish to use the WIRED network connection need to be registered. This includes laptops, desktops, gaming consoles and streaming devices. For information about connecting these devices to our network, visit Gaming Consoles, Rokus and Apple TVs, TVs and Network Appliances in ResNet.
