Connecting Wired Devices in the Residence Halls (ResNet)

The 澳门六合彩历史记录 residence halls provide both wireless and wired Internet access through ResNet (Residence Hall Network). While the wireless network works well for phones, tablets, and other portable devices, for reliability reasons, uTech recommends that students connect as many of their devices to the wired network as possible, including desktop computers, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. (Not all devices鈥攊ncluding phones and tablets鈥攈ave the ability to connect to the wired network.)
