GUGaming Wireless Network

(Note: Since GUGaming is not a secure network, the data is not encrypted, so a hacker could potentially listen in on a conversation, obtain personal information, or read your email or anything you print.)

GUGaming is a wireless network meant for devices not supporting the 802.1x protocol, such as game consoles, wireless printers, smart TVs, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices. This is an unsecured network that does not provide additional security beyond what is provided by the device you are using.

Devices that might be used to connect to GUGaming include gaming systems (e.g., Nintendo, Sony, Xbox); TV and streaming systems (Apple TV, Roku, Google Chromecast, smart TVs); and printers.

GUGaming is available in residence halls to current Georgetown students, faculty, and staff, and is meant only for personal use (not for business devices, such as department printers).

Note: GUGaming does not support the Universal Plug and Play [UPNP] protocol. This may result in users being unable to join or host certain games on gaming consoles.

Before you can connect your device to the GUGaming network, you will need to register your device in GUGaming using your NetID credentials.
