Okay, I am starting college in a month and I have a question. The wifi in the dorm room isn't very strong so I need to use the Ethernet drop.
I have a new Sharp Roku Tv and It does not have an Ethernet port. I can use an Ethernet USB dongle and it will connect fine, but there is no way to enter the user name or password that I understand is required on the Ethernet connection in the dorm.
I "think" I can get a router and create a subnet. The router would authenticate the network and all the drops will then be open. Is that correct or is this wishful thinking?
Can you suggest a college budget friendly router? Wireless subnet not allowed!
Another option:
The Ethernet dongle has MAC address to the other option is to call RESNet and see if they will White list it. I "think" that would work...
