Can I network my gaming station (Xbox, Playstation 2, etc.) ?

Yes. You will need to use the wired network in order to do this. Since our wired connection requires that the networked device is registered, you will need to determine the MAC address of the device and submit the net extend form.

To determine your game console's MAC address (which you will need to fill out the net extend form), follow these instructions:

Xbox:

  1. Turn on your Xbox console with no game disc in the disc tray.
  2. From the Xbox Dashboard, choose Settings.
