Can I use a router in my room?

When using a router, the router itself must also be registered with the ResNet system. This may be done the same way a regular computer is registered. Keep in mind that any and all traffic going through that router is the responsibility of the user who registered it, even if a second user connects to it. You will need to register the external MAC address of the router, often listed as the WAN address.

You may use a wired router in your room, but because they will cause interference with existing UMBC provided services, wireless routers are expressly prohibited in the Residence Halls and Apartments.

All residential communities (including Walker and West Hill as of 2015) now have access to the UMBC Wireless Networks. If you are having difficulty connecting to wireless or are experiencing interrupted coverage, please file a ticket by going to http://www.umbc.edu/go/help or by clicking the Help tab in myUMBC.
