Question

I would like to set up a personal router

Answer

  1. Personal routers are not allowed on USD's network
  2. Hot spots are prohibited
  3. 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 or SDVisitor in areas where these devices are present
