Network Access

The residence halls at Texas A&M University are wired with one Ethernet connection per resident.  These connections can be used to access the university's computing resources and the Internet. Visit University Apartment Connections, if you live in the University Apartments.

Requirements

To use this connection, Students need a 10/100/1000 Base-T ethernet card installed in their computer and an RJ-45 ethernet cable. 

Network Devices

Attaching unapproved network devices (e.g. wireless access points, hubs, switches, and DHCP servers) in the Texas A&M Residence halls is strictly prohibited.  These devices can cause disruptions, security risks and outages for ResNet users. Using these devices on ResNet can cause the user's port to be disabled. The user will need to contact helpdesk at 979.845.8300 to re-enable connection.
