Whats the proper way to set up a wireless router on campus? I've seen a lot of threads about it but i dont want to fuck it up and make people mad.

What do i need to turn on/off and how should i configure it?

plug the internet ethernet port into the ethernet port into your room. type in the address of your router from a hard wired computer to the router in IE, or preferably Firefox (usually the address is 192.168.1.1 or something like that) find the MAC address of the router (usually under the status page) and set up the router the same way you would your desktop on the IT page, but with the router's MAC instead of your desktop's.

And then enable security on the wireless
