Wireless Routers

<p>I understand that they're not allowed in the residence halls. Do some students use them anyway?</p>

<p>Spoof router MAC address as computer, disable SSID broadcast and use a VPN - would this work?</p>

<p>I think they do. I pick up on way more wireless networks than I ought to in my dorm. I just found there was no need. My dorm was ten feet across, an ethernet cable was not that cumbersome and the internet worked better that way.</p>

<p>Wow, some students don’t even disable broadcasting and no one gives them trouble? You make a valid point about room size. However, I believe I may still give my network a try and if it doesn’t work out, cut my losses and move on. </p>

<p>Do you know if the network admins monitor bandwidth?</p>

<p>Thanks,

<p>bump for answer ^^ :)</p>
