Network Registration

Self-Register Gaming & Streaming Devices (NetReg)

NETREG is the university’s Self Service NETwork REGistration system that allows users to register new Gaming & Streaming Devices on the Brandeis University wireless network.

NOTE: Most devices can connect to EDUROAM and will not have to be manually registered via NETREG.
To register, you will need:
- Your UNET ID
- The hardware address (MAC address) of your network adapter (see below)
Only register MAC addresses for which you are responsible. If you register it, you assume responsibility for it
Your computer may have more than one network adapter (e.g., wired and wireless). Only register the wired adapters that you will be using on campus.

What is a MAC (Media Access Control) address?

A network adapter's hardware (MAC address) is a set of six pairs of hexadecimal numbers that uniquely identifies the adapter in your computer. An example MAC address is AB:90:56:78:90:AB.
The MAC address is not the same as the IP address. An IP address is a set of four numbers between 0-255 separated by periods. An example IP address is 192.168.100.100.
