How To: Connect a Gaming or Streaming Device to DuqNet IoT

 

Overview

DuqNet Internet of Things (IoT) is a wireless network dedicated to gaming and streaming devices. Students living on campus can register up to four non-WPA2 enterprise devices, such as Apple TV, PlayStation 4, Roku and Xbox One, on DuqNet IoT.

Any streaming devices connected to DuqNet-IoT must be controlled with their respective remote. DuqNet IoT is designed strictly for recreational use and is not meant for connecting computers or mobile devices. Therefore, access to internal academic resources will not be provided on this wireless network.
