Device is new and I dont know my MAC address

Some devices out of the box may not present a MAC address until it is connected.
You may be able to hotspot your device to your mobile phone for its initial setup and then migrate to the CSURESIPSK network.
(Be aware of excess data charges from your phone provider if your device wants to do updates on its first connection).

Some manufacturers may print the MAC address of the device on the packaging or on the bottom of the unit itself.
Please consult with the manufacturer for instructions on how to find the MAC address for your device.

IMPORTANT: MAC address randomisation or privacy must be disabled for this network to work.
If MAC address randomisation or privacy is turned on than the address that you registered with will not be the address that your device authenticates with.
It is important that any MAC address randomisation is turned off, please consult with the manufacturer for advice on how to turn this feature off.
If it cannot be turned off your device is incompatible with CSURESIPSK.

My device connects and then instantly disconnects

Some devices will do a internet connectivity test during the initial connection, if this device does this test quicker than CSURESIPSK can provide internet this test will fail.
Most of the time the device will disconnect with no error, if this occurs turn the device off and wait for 5 minutes and try again.
