<p>OKay, </p>
<p>so I got myself a router because I wanted a wireless connection in my room. I ran into a little trouble because I don't know what type of connection I have. Is it a dynamic IP or a static/cable IP connection? And if it is the latter, what are the subnet mask, IP, and gateway number/addresses?</p>
<p>Has anyone else had success in setting up a router in their nyu dorm rooms?</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>The wireless police could come after you:</p>

<p>I heard so many people say that they’ve had a router for all four years and that nyu can’t really do anything. They don’t try to stop you either. When I open up my network there are like tens of other wireless connections that I can see. Frankly, I’m not that worried.</p>
<p>Yeah, I really wouldn’t worry about resnet. My suite has a router, so do like the suites next to us and the rooms my friends are in. 
That said I can’t help you with the technical details, the router should have come with instructions on setting it up (and if one of my suitemates could do it, so could you! lol).</p>
<p>Almost everyone I know has wireless. All wireless routers should come with directions.</p>
