*To connect to Ethernet, the device must have an adapter built in or you will have to purchase one, if it exists. Also you will need an Ethernet cable (recommend 25′)
*To connect to EKU Wi-Fi (eku_secure) your device must support WPA2 Enterprise (which means it will allow you to login with your email credentials to connect)
