Earlier, when I suggested "log <something> onto <something else>", that
was for "log" in the sense of "write". For the sense of "gain access
to", it's "log in" or "log on" (or sign in/on). The particle (in, on) is
mobile, so you can stick the noun in the middle, as in "log yourself
on". So it would be "log yourself on to".

But that said, unless logging someone else on to the network is common,
I'd dispense with it altogether and just go with "log on to the network
by... ".
