Residential Networking
Students can access the Internet from their residence hall by using an ethernet cable to plug into wall jacks for wired connectivity, or they may choose to connect to the WolfieNet wireless network.
Students living in Roosevelt or Roth Quads will need a special RJ11-RJ45 ethernet cable which can only be purchased at Seawolves MarketPlace in the Student Activities Center.
The following residence halls require the standard CAT-5 ethernet cable (RJ45-RJ45) which can be purchased at any reliable computer store:
- Chapin Apartments
- H Quad
- Kelly Quad
- Mendelsohn Quad
- Schomburg Apartments
- Tabler Quad
- West Apartments
Stony Brook Southhampton students need the standard CAT-5 cable (RJ45-RJ45) in order to access the Internet from their rooms.
Which Ethernet Cable Do You Need?
Take a look at the pictures below. Which jack does the one in your room resemble? That is the type of cable you need.
Don't Forget to Register
Students living on campus with a personal computer must register their machines on the Residential Network (ResNet). Registration is required to use both the wired and wireless networks in the residence halls. Registration is also required for students plugging into public jacks in common areas.
