How-To

Instructions

Step 1 - While the TV is off, register your device at Network Registration.

Step 2 - Click on "My Devices".

Step 3 - Click on "Register New Device".

Step 4 - Wait a few minutes for registration to complete.

Additional Notes:

• It is important to note that smart TVs can sometimes have difficulty initially connecting to the UNH-Open network, whether it's the first time on campus, or returning from a break. It might take several reboots, or in some cases, a full factory reset of the device to establish a connection.
• It is also possible for the TV to be initially fingerprinted incorrectly in the authentication system, in which case you can call the Help Desk at 862-4242 to correct the issue.

Outcome

Your smart TV, Roku, or other set-top boxes are now connected to the Open wireless network.
