<p>I got myself an ethernet cable and found the proper ethernet wall port (I didn’t know there are two and that one is disabled). I hooked it up to my laptop but it says the network is unidentified and has no internet access. Do I have to do wall->router->computer in order to use the wired? I’m asking because the resnet wifi here in Potter is terrible most of the time.</p>
<p>A router isn’t necessary–all I’m using is an ethernet cord and I was able to use my dorm’s wired internet (I’m in Webster Hall in Cuarto).</p>
