Internet in a Triple

<p>I heard theres only two ethernet jacks in a triple room.. that would mean a splitter is needed. Is this true?</p>

<p>I do not feel like sharing. I shall be the first to move in and take the one all for myself. Lol jk</p>

<p>Yes, this is true. In a triple, someone needs to borrow an ethernet splitter from the front desk and share one of the two connections.</p>

<p>We don't have to buy one, we can just borrow one? Do we have to check it out or something?</p>

<p>do they have wireless in the dorms?</p>

<p>no - but you're welcome to bring your own wireless router</p>

<p>And yes, you can rent (for free) a 4-port router from the STC for the year if you live in a triple</p>

<p>oh rent for free eh? and whats STC?</p>

<p>STC = Student Technology Center, by Sunset Village</p>

<p>Wireless router or just a cat-5?</p>

<p>i probably dont need wireless router in my triple. i mean... theres barely any mobility in my room anyways. only advantage i c for using a wireless router is if im lucky enough i may be able to use my laptop in the restroom.</p>

<p>What about getting a wireless network printer for the dorm to share?</p>

<p>u mean whole floor share one printer? hmm i dunno. not sure everyone would have wireless capability on their comp. plus who is buying the paper + ink? i never touched a wireless router so im clueless.</p>

<p>Wireless router or just a cat-5?</p>

<p>Cat-5</p>

<p>I meant just for the room to share (triple)...wouldn't have to plug in anyway.</p>
