What to Bring to Campus?

Approved Devices	Technology to Leave at Home
The following list is our recommendation for devices that are most-compatible with our campus network. Personal laptops / desktops Game consoles Tablets Mobile phones Smart TVs Chromecasts Wired printers via USB cord (note: wireless printers do not work on our network. See the technologyy to leave at home section for how students can use campus printers).	These devices are NOT recommended on campus. Printers - students to do not need to bring a printer to campus because there are campus printers already provided in the residence halls and libaries. In addition, students are given a complimentary print credit each semester to use at campus printers. To learn more and to monitor your balance, view our printing FAQ page. If students chose to have a printer in their room, we ask that they bring wired printers rather than wireless for a more reliable printing experience. Wireless Routers - These damage the strength of the wi-fi for all users on the network. If you experience slow internet speeds please contact the Tech Desk. TV Converter Box - If students bring their own TV, they will have access to Cable TV Channels and several HD channels on campus

Wi-Fi For personal devices like laptops, phone, and tablets: Use the UST network and sign-in with your St. Thomas username (do not include the @stthomas.edu) and password. This network is secure and encrypted to protect your information.
Wi-Fi for game consoles and media streaming devices: Use the UST-Open network for devices that do not allow you enter in a password.
Wired Ethernet: Simply plug your gaming device into the network wall jack. Your gaming device should automatically connect and be profiled after a reboot.

With either connection, wired or wireless, a reboot will be necessary after connecting to the network.
