Wireless - Connect Gaming Device (Switch, PS, Xbox) to Titan WiFi IoT

These instructions are written for the Nintendo Switch, but should work for any gaming console, device, or smart tv that has wireless capability.

PREFERRED: Connect Your Gaming Device Via Ethernet Cable

This is the recommended method as all functionality will be available, the speeds are better, and the connection is more stable via ethernet. Each room has at least one active ethernet port, and 4-port ethernet switches can be checked out from the front desk. https://uwosh.atlassian.net/wiki/x/2ABjg
