ECS students with a verifiable medical need are able to connect up to two personal devices to the ECS Wireless network.
Follow the instructions below:
- Have the office staff or school nurse submit a ticket to provide access for a medical device.
- Use your home network, cellular data or go to your building's main office and join the ECS-Onboarding wifi network.
- Open your web browser and go to https://tinyurl.com/ecswifi
- Follow the instructions to connect your device. *When entering your credentials, please avoid using the autofill feature. Instead, type your credentials manually.
If you change devices and have reached the maximum number of personal devices on your account, you will need to submit a work order to have a device removed before you can enroll a new one.
This process will allow access for one year. Please repeat this process every 12 months or less. If you have problems, try forgetting ECS-Wireless and onboarding the device again.
Below you will find instructions on connecting your Apple device (depending on the iOS version) and Android device.
