Northwest wants to give campus technology users an on-campus experience that accommodates academic, professional and network entertainment activities such as the use of gaming consoles like Xbox One. Some restrictions may apply.
How do I get onto the wired network with my gaming console?
You can get onto Northwest's wired network with an Ethernet cable via an Ethernet port.

If there is ever a problem found related to your gaming console being on the Northwest network, your network connectivity could be shut down without notice.
Does the wireless or wired network work better for my gaming device?
