To connect a device to our wired network on campus, a user must first gather their device's MAC address. If you know your device's MAC address, please visit this page to learn how to register your device while connected to the CSP network. While some gaming consoles can connect by ethernet port, users are encouraged to use the gaming Wi-Fi network whenever possible. For more information about this gaming network, please contact the help desk.
