<p>Uh so I'll be in Hedrick Summit this year. I remember my OC told me at orientation that there isn't wifi in the dorm rooms, only in the lounges. Or I do recall saying that there is wif, but it's very weak. So I guess I'd have to buy an ethernet cable right? Any know long of a cable I should get?</p>
<p>Yes you need one, 12-16ft is good.</p>
<p>there is almost no wifi, you can kinda get it if you are really close to the lounge, as for cables anything around 6 would do really, keep in mind for triples there are only 2 slots for internet so you need to get a hub or router (i have a wireless router and it works fine, keeps my computer and ps3 online wirelessly and my roommates use it when they don't like to be glued to their desk)</p>
<p>Yeah, unless your room is next to the lounge or two doors down, you won't get wifi (I did last year since I was right next to one).</p>
<p>If you plan to be immobile, 6 feet is more than enough. Buy your own before school starts for a few bucks. If you buy at UCLA, just the 6 feet cable will cost you $10. (and more for longer CAT5s)</p>
<p>there are a couple of people around the dorms who make ethernet cables. 50 cents per foot.</p>
<p>i know last year they added wifi connection in de neve late last year... does anyone know if they will be adding wifi to other buildings in the near future?</p>
<p>What is the difference between cat5 and cat6? Will they both work?</p>
