About other devices: Apple TV, Chromecast, Smart TVs, wi-fi routers, Gaming Consoles
- Apple TV, Chromecast, Smart TVs, Gaming Consoles, and other network devices: Most will work and can be registered on the Whitman network if they have a MAC (hardware) address. You'll need to register them on our "whitman_devices" wi-fi network, be sure to fill out this form. Please be aware that Chromecast sticks will not work.
- Wireless routers and modems: These devices are not allowed on the Whitman network. There are wireless access points all over campus and ethernet ports in every room in the residence halls for student use.
Software/Apps
What software will I need?
Microsoft Office and a web browser or two should be sufficient for the vast majority of your activities at Whitman. Beyond the basics, most specialized software that would be required by students depends heavily on specific classes. Anything that cannot be obtained for free will be available in one or more computer lab around campus. In general, the only software students need is an "office/productivity suite" and a modern web browser.
