If wireless is not available in the dorm my student will be living in, can he/she install a wireless router?

Body

No.

 

 

NOTE: For Students:   No Wireless Routers, Network Switches, WiFi Extenders, or other Network Related Equipment!

 

Installing a wireless router or WiFi Extender can not only cause connectivity issues within the ResNet, but will be blocked from the network.

With a new technology being implemented, Network Authenticated Login, each device will have certain criteria that must be met in order for that device to connect to the University’s Network. This login will consist of the students e-mail userID and e-mail password. This will help to eliminate issues caused by external devices, such as wireless routers, from causing problems on the University’s Networks.

 

      

          Faculty/Staff:  Personal devices should be limited to As Needed on the Troy University Networks!
