android device on wireless

Are you able to connect android devices to the wireless yet? I remember we got a email in May/June that they would be upgrading the system after the exams, did this ever happen?

You connect already. This is how I did it.

Download dolphin browser. Change somewhere in dolphin settings to appear as Linux. Then connect to the wireless as if you were using a Linux machine.

Well you'd probably still have to register your MAC address like you do with any laptop and your effectively doing the same thing in the way I described

Got my phone hooked up to the WiFi yesterday, no jumping through hoops required. Just connect to TCDwifi_first steps and it'll walk you through the process. Simples!
