There is a separate wireless network in University Housing for gaming and media devices named CP-IoT-Secure. This network requires a quick registration process where you will be given a unique password to use to connect. IoT devices typically connect only to home WiFi networks, such as a game console, printer, watch, camera, media player, etc. Check to see if your device is on the supported devices list.

To complete IoT Device Registration, you will need to know your device's WiFi hardware/MAC address. Typically, the Mac address can be found in a device's network settings or in the documentation that came with the device.
The eduroam WiFi network does not work with IoT devices.
Students: By accessing the WiFi network, you agree to the Cal Poly Responsible Use Policy and the Use of Electronic Recording Devices Policy.

To complete IoT Device Registration, you will need to know:

your Cal Poly username and password
the device's Wi Fi hardware/MAC address (not ethernet hardware address)

Go to IoT Device Registration and log in with your Cal Poly username (do not include @calpoly.edu) and password. Click the Log In button.
Click Create Device or the Create a New Device button.
Enter the requested information, including the device's 12 digit WiFi hardware/MAC address. Separate the characters by colons. (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
Click the Create Device button.
On the next page, you will see your personalized WiFi password, which will only work on the CP-IoT-Secure network for that registered device.

After you successfully register your device, connect it to the CP-IoT-Secure network.

Go to your device's WiFi settings and select CP-IoT-Secure.
Enter the password given to you during the IoT Device Registration process to connect. (This password is different from your Cal Poly password.) If you forgot your password, see View Devices and Passwords below.

Normally, your device will not be able to be "seen" by anyone else, just you. You can choose to share your device with other Cal Poly users so that they can use the device, either during the IoT Device Registration process or by logging in and managing your devices. If you've already registered your device, see View Devices and Passwords below.

Once sharing is enabled for another user, they will be able to see the device. If they can see the device in their Airplay menu, for example, it means they can use it in the same way as you. If they cannot, they have not been granted access by you.

Go to IoT Device Registration and log in with your Cal Poly username (do not include @calpoly.edu) and password.
Click Manage Devices, then click on the device you'd like to view and an Edit link will appear.
Click Edit to see specific information about a device, including its current password and who the device is shared with. Remember, the device password is unique and will not allow other devices to connect to CP-IoT-Secure.
If you make any changes, click the Update Device button.
