While hundreds of users across campus are able to connect every day, a few people have run into persistent problems connecting. In this document we’ll go over the reasons for a couple of the most frequent issues, and suggest some possible fixes to these problems.
Not all wireless devices work properly, or at all, on the LUNA network. Check the list of compatible devices for information on what works, and what doesn’t.
Your Media Access Control (MAC) address should take the form of six (6) pairs of hexadecimal digits.
If you think you may have entered the wrong MAC address, you can log back into the registration page, click the Edit button next to the entry, then use the Delete button to clear than registration and start over.
Sometimes your console or smart TV will retain old settings, or have hardware or software problems that prevent it from connecting to any wifi network.
The biggest clue that something is wrong with the device is that it will be unable to connect to the lehigh-guest network. The guest network is too slow for video streaming and gaming applications, but it will allow any of these devices to connect, because it requires no authentication at all.
If a device will not connect to lehigh-guest or another open wifi network, something significant has failed in the WiFi system of that device. This could range from physical problems like a damaged antenna connection, to software problems like failed firmware updates or bugs.
In these cases, it’s best to attempt a complete device reset or restore factory defaults. Each device manufacturer should have instructions on their website for doing this. Keep in mind that if the problem is damage to hardware, a software reset will never resolve the problem.
