Television and Gaming

Due to the high volume of traffic on the secure University network, all gaming and streaming devices must use a wired connection (ethernet cable) plugged into the network jack in each residence room.

Television Option 1 – get free local stations

1. You can use a HD Antenna like this one – HDTV Antenna
2. Be sure to read the documentation that comes with the Antenna.
3. Hook the coax cable from the antenna into the back of the TV
4. Position the antenna on the wall as the instructions suggest

Television Option 2 – You can use any of the available streaming platforms that are available which stream its content over the internet.  These are NOT offered by SNU.  This can be viewed directly on the display itself (if, for example, you are using a Smart TV) or you can connect a laptop or a tablet to the display.  Most modern laptops and tablets are able to connect to a display using an HDMI cable.  Connecting to a display via wireless devices (ie, casting) is NOT an option at this time. Please check your specific device you will be using to determine if you can use an HDMI or other cable to connect to the display.

Streaming/Gaming – A wired connection (Ethernet cable) is the preferred method of connecting to the Internet. Some devices may be able to utilize the snu-guest wireless network.  
NOTE: Personal wireless routers are not authorized to be connected to the SNU network.

If you have questions, contact your RA.
