Questions About Personal Routers on USD's Network

Issue/Question

I would like to set up a personal router

Environment

• USD Network
• Router

Cause

Personal routers affect the quality of wifi and can interfere with others using wifi on campus.

Resolution

1. Personal routers are not allowed on USD's network
2. Please urge anyone you know that has their own wireless router or Hot-Spot to TURN IT OFF, IMMEDIATELY
   Note: Even a single home router or Hot-Spot can cause significant wireless network interference and is a security risk to anyone who connects to it.  You will notice SSIDs (network names) showing up that are NOT eduroam, SDSecure, or SDVisitor in areas where these devices are present
3. If you see one Please contact the Service Desk and Housing so the unauthorized devices can be removed
   • Provide as much detail as possible
   • Name
   • Phone Number
   • The room you are in when you see the Rogue SSID (networks)
   • A screenshot of the networks you see on your device
   • More specific information related to the location of the Rogue Devices, if known
