2. Register Your Device

Before you have full internet access, you must register your device. Visit support.utk.edu to register.

Note: If you plan on using both wireless and the network port in your Residence Hall room, you will need to register your computer twice, once for each separate connection.

Register your gaming device, e-readers, tablets, smartphones, or media-streaming devices.

Go to oit.utk.edu/register and follow the instructions. To register your device, you will need to know the MAC address.
