How to Register a Device for Network Access

Individual students, faculty, and staff members must register their own devices through the web portal at mydevices.gmu.edu. ITS recommends this as a method of last resort only for devices that do not support 802.1x authentication and cannot join eduroam.

Note: If you are off campus, you will need to connect to the virtual private network (VPN) to access mydevices.gmu.edu.

Step 1

With your preferred web browser open mydevices.gmu.edu.

Step 2

Log in to the portal with your NetID and Patriot Pass Password.

Step 3

Following the instructions, enter your device’s MAC address in the upper field. For devices connecting to the MASON Wi-Fi network, make sure you’re using the Wi-Fi MAC address.

A MAC address may also be referred to as a Physical or Hardware address. Depending on the device, a MAC address may be printed somewhere on the device or viewable on a network settings page.

Optionally add a description in the lower field, and click Submit.

Step 4

Congratulations! You have successfully registered your device. Reboot your device and connect it to the appropriate network.

Registration occurs immediately. If your device appears in the Your Devices​​​ window, the device was registered successfully.
