Google Chromecast

NO

NO

The Chromecast was designed to be used in small consumer wireless networks, such as a home environment. We use significantly different enterprise-class technology to provide WiFi for the Geneseo campus, which is essentially incompatible with the Chromecast. We have worked with the vendor to find ways to manage the incompatibility, and there are no good solutions available today. We are therefore unable to support use of the Chromecast on our wireless network at this time.

Wireless Printers

YES, via USB

NO

Personal printers must be directly connected to your laptop via USB. Geneseo does not
allow or support wireless printers. These printers have a severe negative impact on the entire campus wireless network.
