My university's wireless internet connection is pretty bad and has gotten noticeably slower from the year before (apparently they're planning on increasing the bandwidth but not sure when that'll go down). Each room in the school owned apartment complexes has only one ethernet jack. When I hook up my laptop to the wall with a wired connection, I get a much better connection. However, I have multiple devices (laptop, xbox, etc.).
A friend told me that he set up a wireless router in his room (same apartment complex) so he could use the LAN ports and run all of his devices on a wired connection. If I were to purchase the TP-LINK TL-WR841N Wireless N300 Home Router, how could I set up my own network with as little suspicion as possible? I was to use it primarily just to hook up everything to it with wired connections, I could use my university's network for phone and tablet wi-fi. I have basic knowledge of how I would set it up: ethernet jack on the wall goes to WAN port on router and set up as an access point. However, I get lost when it comes to the settings configuration (can I turn off wireless mode and remain more incognito? also, something about turning off DHCP..). I'm currently running Windows 10 on my PC if that makes any difference..
Any help will be much appreciated!
