Can I use Google Nest or Google Home on the UNCW Network?

Answer


Google Home and Google Nest
 

Unfortunately, we cannot support Google Home or Google Nest on the UNCW Network due to the Network configurations of these devices.

Google requires a phone or mobile device and the Home/Nest to be on the same Network. It is not possible to connect the Home/Nest to hawkwifi; therefore, it is not possible to complete the set-up.

The Google instructions, "Set up your Google Nest or Home speaker or display," indicate that a Google Home or Google Nest will not work on “a WPA-2 Enterprise Network.”


If you need further assistance, please submit a service request or CHAT with TAC.
