What is needed for dorm networking?

<p>What mac address do you register for a wireless router? Mine has three different addresses as seen through the online gui - a lan, wan, and wireless each ending in xxxx:3A, xxxx:3B, xxxx:3C respectively. The one actually printed on the router is the xxxx:3A as well; I assume this is the one to use but just checking.</p>

<p>You don't need to know the mac address. Just have your computer plugged into your router when you register.</p>

<p>Gotcha, thanks samwise. You're a valuable tool.</p>

<p>Also, you can change your MAC adress at will, so if your router goes dead you can use that mac on your PC; also if you want to upgrade your router.</p>

<p>Also you can configure routers as dummy switches and then plug those back into your router to get more ports.</p>

<p>Also keep in mind that routers are often cheaper than switches and hubs. Never buy a router unless there is a good MIR or something.</p>
