To get connected to the wired Internet in your room, you will need to bring:
1. A computer with an Ethernet adapter or card.
2. An Ethernet cable (Cat 5 10/100Base-T cable with RJ-45 connectors) in order to connect your computer to the network port in your room.
To access the internet through a wireless connection in the public areas in the residence halls and on campus, bring a computer (laptop) that also has a wireless Ethernet adapter or card.
You will find information in your room regarding the user agreement, and set up instructions on how to register your computer to the network.
Below are recommended configurations for desktops. If you are buying a new computer, it is best to purchase one with an Ethernet adapter pre-installed. This can be on-board, or a separate card already installed as long as the machine has an Ethernet port. You can also buy a separate Ethernet card (nic) for your system.
