Helpful Tips

• There is Wi-Fi inside the rooms and common areas throughout the building, you will need to use your valid UTORid and password to get connected 
• If you also want a hard wire connection, set up assistance is available through ResNet (located in Lobby beside the Front Desk)
  • Some new laptops are no longer manufactured with Ethernet connections. To connect to internet in one’s room, you will need to buy an adaptor and install drivers on your computer. ResNet is happy to advise students where they can purchase needed adapters
