Ethernet port activation is no longer required.
Each dorm room now has a white wireless access point mounted on the wall. These new access points have at least two already active Ethernet ports. Look for the red or blue stickers on the bottom of the access point to use as regular Ethernet ports.
Some dorms may have other Ethernet ports in the room (such as on the opposing wall) which are no longer used.
Please see Personally Owned Computers & Devices for more information about devices you can and cannot connect to your Ethernet port.
Explicitly prohibited devices include:
- Wired/Wireless Routers
- Network Switches
- Wi-Fi Repeaters/Extenders
- Wi-Fi/Ethernet bridges or port replicators
The University reserves the right to isolate or disconnect any device from the network that appears to be causing network problems or appears to be infected with malicious software.
