<p>how is the internet connection in the muir dorms? do you need an ethernet card?</p>
<p>uhh.... they supply the jack and the connection (behind the wall stuff), you supply the computer and cable ... and i'll let you guess who's responsible for buying the ethernet card.</p>
<p>we don't need a router right?</p>
<p>uh, no. it's seriously plug-and-play.</p>
<p>Bring a router only if you really need wireless in your res hall</p>
<p>The thick walls saturate the wireless connection, though, so you're better off with an ethernet connection if you can reach an hub</p>
<p>yea, all you have to do is plug in your ethernet cable. i would advise though, i had friends who struggled connecting to the wireless internet in the muir res halls. prolly because of the cinder block walls o.O .i always connected through ethernet cable. in the muir apartments i had a perfect wireless internet signal.</p>
