Residential Entertainment Network

NCC_Entertainment Network

The wireless entertainment network is designed to allow devices to connect to the network that are NOT able to connect using a wired connection or do not support the ability to enter a username and password to authenticate to wireless.  Please continue to connect devices equipped with an Ethernet port to the wired network. Wired connections will provide faster and more reliable network access. Computers, tablets and phones should continue to be connected to the NCC_Wireless network.

Entertainment devices such as game consoles, smart TVs, digital home assistants/speakers, and media streaming devices can be connected to the NCC_Entertainment network.  Each device must be registered before it will be permitted to connect.
