Media Devices

Wireless Connection

Be aware that some wireless-only devices (such as Amazon Echo, Chromecast, and the Amazon Fire TV stick) may not behave as expected on the campus network. These devices are designed for home use and as such cannot support the level of encryption needed to connect to the secure Stonehill wireless network. Therefore, while these devices may connect to the Internet through the unsecured guest network, IT cannot help you connect these devices to the secure campus wireless network hillspot or support these technologies in any way.
