Student dorm does not allow wifi routers
(linux.community)
Can you use a switch for wired devices or is that also a no-no?
Switches are also explicitly banned as they allow bypassing the device limit.
It shouldn’t surprise you that major organizations like to protect their infrastructure.
They shouldn't have made the claim that op could bring and use a router if it directly contradicts the guidelines or their wifi use in the dorms.
There’s various contractual reasons they may say this but ultimately they probably can’t tell. Those terms and conditions don’t count for anything and can’t be enforced because no reasonable reads them. I’d just go ahead with using your router and wait for somebody to say something (feign ignorance).
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
