Step #3 - Improving ConnectionsTips for improved performance in Residence Halls
Because students use multiple devices, plug in all ethernet-enabled devices like laptops and gaming consoles. This leaves more bandwidth available for mobile devices. To activate ethernet jacks in your room, login into MyRed and fill out a maintenance request under “FixIt” Housing portal.
Use ethernet on all devices that can be plugged in
No routers/switches/hubs
Router transmissions interfere with WiFi access points on the network and disrupt service for you and your neighbors.
Print via USB connection
Turn off wireless print functionality and print via a USB connection to eliminate WiFi interference.
