Problem is, I'm planning to take my wireless router so that I can connect my PC (wired), my laptop (wired or wi-fi), and my phone (w-ifi) to the network. Obviously, I'd be using both WPA2, and MAC filtering, so that even if there's a comp-sci student living next to me, they'd be unlikely to use my wi-fi connection.4. Network Abuse: This will incur a 56 day disconnection period and £100 reconnection charge. Examples of network abuse include, but are not limited to, port scanning, connection of hubs, switches, wireless access points, routers, and unauthorised servers to the Network Connection in your room. In severe cases, for example where serious illegal activity has taken place or where repeated breaches of the conditions in this acceptable use policy have occurred, action may be bought under the terms of the University’s major disciplinary process (see University Calendar, Regulation 23). This action may result in the permanent removal of access to the ResNet Service for the remainder of the year, and may also prevent a resident from returning to Halls in future years.
Would they actually be able to detect that I'm using a router, and thus give me the b&hammer and fine, or is this just the usual ITS crap-talk which I'm used to from back in my first year?
Thanks for any responses.
