Android devices can connect to the PCT wireless network by following the first seven steps below. If you are registering a new device for the first time you will need to take a few additional steps. Be aware, different Android devices might have slightly different steps or look slightly different than the images shown.
*Some devices may use a feature to randomize your MAC address, this randomization prevents your device from being registered to your userid and needs to be changed.
