CobyNet -  This network will be deprecated shortly. While it is available it is a network that should only be used for campus owned devices that are placed on our network. Users should switch to using OneCoby. We announced this deprecation on 12/12/2022. This will be deprecated before Fall Semester Starts 2024.

 

Wired Connections - If you are connecting your laptop, television or gaming device via a wired Ethernet connection in the dorm halls you will still need to register the Wired MAC Address of your device, to connect please use the black network jacks labeled Eth2 and Eth3.

Finding the MAC address of your device varies greatly by product so we will simply suggest using a search engine such as Google to learn how to find your device’s MAC address.

Once you have the device MAC address, use another connected device that has an Internet connection to access the web page.

https://extremecontrol.cobleskill.edu/self_registration. Enter your Cobleskill user name and password then click Login, you will then need to read and then check the box to agree with the acceptable use policy then click "Complete Registration"

To add a device first click "Add". Enter the MAC address and a description of the device you would like registered and then click "Submit". Your device is now successfully registered! You can connect to OneCoby using the pre-shared key.
