Frequently Asked Wireless/RESNET Questions
What kind of computer is required to be placed on the Hilbert College Wireless Network (RESNET?)
- As a matter of policy, we do not recommend any specific brand of computer. We do recommend however that the system have at least Windows 10 or greater, or Mac OS X (10.4) or higher. Either will be supported on the network. To connect wirelessly however, the computer must have a wireless card supporting the 802.11b/g standards. The vast majority of laptops have a wireless card as standard equipment, but please verify with your manufacturer.
Can I use my mobile device?
Can I use my XBOX, PS3, or other video game system on RESNET?
- We do allow consoles on the network, however they must be hardwired to a wall port via Ethernet cable. This is done in order to save our wireless traffic for academic use. Students must also remember however, that we do not provide support for these systems since they are not primarily for academic use; we can simply guide you and assist you to the best of our ability.
