Notes
ResNet uses Cisco NAC technology to maintain a secure network. Every time you log on to ResNet, Cisco NAC checks to make sure your computer meets current security requirements. If your computer doesn't meet these requirements, Internet access is restricted. A security check is run daily at 5 a.m. Any computers connected to ResNet at that time will be disconnected.
Use of ResNet is subject to ResNet Usage Policy. Personally-owned wireless access points and routers are strictly prohibited in Wayne State Housing. Residents that install unauthorized wireless access points or routers will have their network access suspended and be subject to reconnection fees. For more information and to read the entire ResNet Useage Policy, click here.
If you need additional network ports, use an Ethernet switch, not a router. For more information on Ethernet switches, visit this KB article.
