- Routers (Wired or Wireless): Devices which set up their own sub-network, especially those providing their own IP addresses, are not permitted. Only one device per port is permitted at a time. When used, the router takes that one device slot; subsequent devices attached to the router would not receive authorization.
- Switches: Devices which set up their own sub-network or allow multiple devices to share a single port are not permitted. Only one device per port is permitted at a time. When used, the switch takes that one device slot; subsequent devices attached to the router would not receive authorization.
- Wireless or Network Printers and Scanners: These devices are not standalone, and require setup over the network. Printers and scanners which attach directly to a PC (known as a "local printer") will work.
- Google Chromecast: This device requires a wireless connection to a computer in order to be able to setup and control.
Devices which MAY be compatible with our wireless and/or residential network
- Smartphones/Blackberries/Wireless PDAs: Most can access the Internet through Wireless connections (after a login). Email services may be configured on these machines as well by their owner using either Microsoft Exchange. However, with the wide variety of smartphones out there, it is impossible to say with 100% certainly that all such phones will be able to work.
- Kindle/Nook: Early versions of these devices and the “reader only” versions are not compatible with our email or wireless network. Later versions of the Nook and the Kindle Fire 2nd generation and later are able to access our internet services through wireless, and email services may be configured on these machines as well by their owner using either Microsoft Exchange.
- Nintendo DS: It is not known at this time whether the Nintendo DS will work with our wireless network.
- Slingbox: Given that it seems to need a network discovery in order to setup/use this device, it is unlikely that this device will work with our network.
