King’s College is fully equipped with wireless access across campus. Here’s how to get your devices online.

Step 1: Make sure your phone is updated

 iPhone | Android

Your phone’s operating system (OS) may have asked you to update and you dismissed it in a hurry, but even though some updates are jarring for interface changes, the updates are there to make your device more secure, more stable, and your system more efficient. So update your operating system—that’s a common first step that resolves problems.

Step 2: Connect your phone or laptop to the wireless network

Please note: All pages in this section are available ONLY on-campus!

  1. To use our WiFi you must be on campus and connected to either the LeoNet WiFi network (if you are in a residence hall) or the KC WiFi network.
  2. If you are on campus, please connect to either LeoNet or KC.
  3. When prompted, log in with your King’s email credentials.
  4. On your device, go to http://wifi.kings.edu.
  5. Once you log in, the device will be added to the network!

Connect your other devices

You also have the chance to add other devices that may not be as easy to open a browser on, like gaming systems, tablets, or smart TVs. Each user can add up to 8 devices, and you can add them all at once!

We’ve attempted to compile a list of devices and instructions on obtaining the MAC address (used below) here.

  1. Using your phone or laptop that’s already connected to our WiFi, go to http://wifi.kings.edu
  2. Click the Device Registration Page link
  3. Choose the network you’d like to register your smart device on (LeoNet if you are in a residence hall, KC for other areas of campus)
  4. Log in with your King’s Monarch account credentials
  5. Add the MAC address for the device*
  6. Add a Description, like “My phone” or “Xbox”
  7. Click the Submit button
  8. Now the device is added!

* A MAC address (ex. 01:23:45:67:89:ab) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces (made of alphanumeric characters 0-9 and A-F). It’s usually in a settings area that is called “About.” Sometimes it’s called a Wi-Fi Address (iPhone) or Wi-Fi MAC Address (Android).

There are many devices out there, thus many ways to determine MAC addresses. Consult your user manual or Google to determine the way to find yours.

You’ll have to log in on each device (or reactivate them) every 360 days to ensure security and compatibility with network credentials.

Troubleshooting: Connecting & Staying Connected

  • Make sure your device has the latest updates
  • Disconnect and re-connect the network when you arrive at your destination (classroom, residence hall, study area, etc…)
  • If you have a wireless printer in your room, turn it off when not in use (these printer wireless signals conflict with our services)
  • Consider restarting your device: Restarting the device may take the network reset to another level, giving a fresh start to your device, which will search for the strongest signal after the device boots up.
  • Add devices through the Self Registration page using the MAC address

One very easy way to find a new access point is to open your Wireless settings, turn off Wi-Fi, count to ten, and turn it back on. This will make your phone look for the closest and strongest place to re-establish the connection.

Desperate? Reset your device’s network settings: This clears all network information from your device, including all saved networks and passwords for other wireless networks (not information for apps). Sometimes resetting helps your phone re-find the best access point for your location.
