What is wireless passthrough?

This service allows you to bypass the wireless login screen by providing your device’s MAC address. It is available to all students, faculty and staff within the UH system.

Important: Some devices (such as newer phones, tablets, and laptops) use rotating or random MAC addresses as a privacy feature. If your device is using a rotating MAC address, you will need to disable this feature (or switch it to the device’s actual/hardware MAC address) to ensure a successful wireless pass-through registration. Visit Disable Android, iOS, and macOS 15 MAC Address Randomization to learn how to turn off random MAC addresses.

To register your device(s):

1. Go to http://www.hawaii.edu/wireless/pt
2. Click on the Login link.
3. Enter the MAC Address of your device.
4. Click on the dropdown and select the appropriate device type.
5. Enter a Device Description.
6. Click on the Add button.

Once the device is registered, it will be able to bypass the wireless login screen automatically.
