Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers
Skates@feddit.nl 1 week agoSome WiFi routers can be configured to not advertise their network; annoying because you’ll have to manually enter the network information on every device, but it might keep you from getting caught.
Just name the network something like Samsung S20 Personal Hotspot. They’re not gonna look into why a student created a Hotspot with their phone.
Or, shit - lock the fucking door.

If it’s a dorm they have the key.

IT does? Damn, didn’t know - my bad. Where I’m from IT doesn’t have the keys, and the people that do have the keys know better than to try entering people’s dorms, unless it’s really something critical. Wifi doesn’t qualify.

Where I went to college, they probably didn’t directly have the key, that’d have to go through maintenance. But one of the things you signed on to initially was for maintenance to enter if they needed to while you were out.
Plus, at least half of the WAPs were actually in rooms and not hallways, so to service the network beyond IDF problems they’d have to get in
