Devices not able to connect to the NIUWireless should be able to connect to NIUVisitor network except for devices that require a "discovery protocol" in order to discover your device.

*Note: Wireless printers, chromecast, home automation, special lighting gear that requires your phone to control cannot be discovered on the wireless network so they will not work.

Examples of devices for use on NIUVisitor include gaming consoles (Xbox, PS4, Switch, etc.), streaming devices (Roku, Amazon Fire Stick as long as it uses a remote to control it, etc.), smart TVs, smart speakers like Amazon Echo as long as you can find the wireless MAC address in order to register it and you don't use your phone to try and control it. They will work if you speak to them but you cannot control them with your phone.
