WiFi: Legacy Devices


Some older devices may not support 802.1x authentication and therefore will be unable to connect to the Eduroam WiFi network. You should use the WiFi network named dpupsk for these devices. In order to connect to this network please follow the steps below. (*Note) We highly recommend connecting gaming consoles to the network via the gigabit ethernet port(s) available in the residence hall rooms for the best experience. See instructions to register your wired device.

Device Examples: Playstation, XBOX, Roku and ROKU TV, Amazon Echo, etc.


How to Connect Your Device to the WiFi Network

  1. Register your device at https://devicereg.depaul.edu/guest by following the instructions listed below.
    1. Locate the WiFi network "dpupsk" without the quotes and connect. *Note: This network may not be visible and may need to be entered manually.
    2. Enter required network settings. This may consist of just entering in the "Password" or WPA Key
