ℹ️ CAN I USE MY NANOLEAFS IN A SCHOOL SETTING/DORM/OFFICE?

Enterprise-style routers such as those used on college/university campuses, in dorms, offices, or apartments often have different security settings than those on standard consumer routers. 

One option is whitelisting.

• Nanoleaf panels can be whitelisted using the MAC Address (which is found on the back of the Nanoleaf Controller)

• Please consult your IT professional to assist in getting this setup.

💡ADDITIONAL INFO FOR YOUR IT TEAM |  The router needs to be compatible with the Bonjour protocol in order to be discovered on the local network. As long as these settings are configured, you should be able to use the panels on enterprise networks.

ℹ️ Alternatively, you can connect your Nanoleaf products in hotspot mode. 
To do so, follow our steps to guide you through the process!
