Connecting your wired device on ResNet can be done in two easy steps. First, connect your device to a wired data jack in your room. Then, register it for access.
1. Connect to a wired data jack
The first step to connecting is to connect to the data jack in your room. This varies based on your hall location. Plug your Ethernet cord into your Data port and then into your device.
If your data port is physically damaged, please contact the Department of Residence to report this.
