<p>Does Hume, or any of the other dorms at UF have wireless networks? If not, would i be able to bring my Airport Express and make my own network or would a firewall block it or something.</p>
<p>THanks.</p>
<p>No wireless in Hume (I think there's wireless in the common areas of Jennings) and I'm pretty sure I wanted to bring my Airport Express, looked it up, and saw that it violated UF's Acceptable Use policy...</p>
<p>If someone has first hand experience with this and knows better than I do, I'd love to be wrong in the conclusions I've drawn from the acceptable use policy.</p>
<p>why would that violate the policy?</p>
<p>There's wireless in hume commons, but you won't be able to access it in your dorm. Most places have wireless only in their common rooms, I believe. UF does not like you running your own wireless hub.</p>
<p>okay, they may not like it, but if i took my airport express, should it be fine?</p>
<p>In practice, every time I booted up the ol' laptop I'd see 6 or 7 networks in range that could be identified as "not UF networks", some of which had humorous names such as "Free Public Wi-Fi" and I'm pretty sure nobody did anything about it. You should be fine.</p>
<p>very good. is it smart to put a name like "public wifi" and not like andrew's network or do they really not monitor at all?</p>
<p>thanks alot</p>
<p>No, the purpose of making a network called "Free Public Wi-Fi" is to trick people into connecting to a network that isn't connected to the internet just to frustrate them :P</p>
<p>I think most, if not all, of the area commons have wireless. If you live in Thomas or Murphree, you can sometimes pick up the signal coming from the racquet club/gym and the murphree commons.</p>
<p>yes but i need the wireless internet in my dorm. i have the air and the only way i can hook up to ethernet is if i use the usb adapter but then i will have no usb spots left</p>
