<p>Can I bring a router and have my own wireless internet connection?</p>

2

<p>What for? It’s provided lol.</p>

3

<p>not in lothian or A-I it’s fiber optic there</p>

4

<p>i thought wifi was provided all around campus</p>

5

<p>You can’t bring a router, there’s wifi already</p>

6

<p>there is wifi on campus but Lothian and AI dont have it. Although lothian does pick up signal from P hills cause its close enough</p>

7

<p>well in dorms they have ethernet cables so it wouldn’t matter, unless you take your laptop to the lounges or something…</p>

8

<p>oh really no wifi in AI and Lothian?
thank god i signed up for pentland</p>

9

<p>yeah but the speed makes up for it</p>

10

<p>lol dang. i thought lothian did have wifi! @#%#@%@!! oh well, i’m fine with cables, i guess.</p>

11

<p>I heard from someone in charge that wifi was all over campus, but in the dorms it’s a bit iffy</p>

<p>so there’s a possibility you might in Lothian</p>

12

<p>yeah A-I for sure doesnt pick up signal Lothian is the closest to campus and is next to P hills so it gets enough signal though come on it has fiber optic so it blow the pants of wifi</p>

13

<p>there’s nothing to download if you can’t port forward though…</p>

14

<p>P-hills has wifi for sure. The campus has wifi for sure, there is like a dead spot in the big lawn behind the belltower… if ya’ll are wondering. </p>

<p>West Lothian can sometime pick up wifi from phills, and there is wifi at the East Lothian study lounge, unless its been changed. (pretty sure its still there)</p>

<p>Routers are not allowed by RESNET. Don’t bother bringing one. If you are a CE or one of those majors from BCOE, then you will better understand why. Basically its the security setup they have going on, along with the way MAC address are processed by the servers and how connections are shared and monitored for the rooms, etc etc etc no routers - they wont work.</p>

<p>Just 1 question

17

<p>Isn’t rapidshare legal?</p>

<p>port forwarding = torrents = pirate bay = not legal…</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>they have the best downloads though</p>

18

<p>yea so im thinking of getting a rapidshare account to download stuff in dorms lol</p>

19

<p>from the link, the 300$ extra is quarterly… which adds up to $900</p>

20

<p>ah crap lol</p>

<p>I forgot :(</p>

<p>still…at least it’s 900 not 1000…</p>
