    Yup, I did some on-campus IT work while I was in college and it was super trivial to detect when people would have their own networks in the dorms

        At mine it was not. Hotspots and the like that stayed up for too long were flagged and action was taken to have them disabled and the student reprimanded.

          Well, I can understand that APs wouldn’t be allowed since having lots of APs in one space makes it worse for everyone.

          Wired should be allowed though.
