Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers
Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months agoShould be, yes. At that point it’s a question of how well the network was configured. I’d hope this wouldn’t much of an issue these days - I did graduate from college in 2011, and I’m sure (hopeful) campus networks have improved since my student IT job days. These days my router config experience is from the ISP side. The only private network I’m responsible for is my own, thankfully!

I went to college in the mid-late 2010s and I recall they specifically banned WiFi routers, but when I checked what they meant specifically all they cared was that it didn’t broadcast on the 2.4 or 5 ghz spectrum and if it was all wired I was fine.

Definitely makes sense - security concerns aside, the less crowded the broadcast space, the happier all the APs are.
