Students living on-campus are encouraged to sign up for ResNet if they wish to have full, uninterrupted access to the Internet. Academic Computing administers the dial-up connections. UW-Oshkosh does not include the cost for connecting a student to the Internet in either tuition or housing fees. The university realizes that not every student is going to use the ResNet service, and thus does not charge students who do not use it. ResNet offers an Ethernet-based network connection directly to the Internet.
Students have access to all the Internet has to offer.
Only Ethernet network cards can connect to the ResNet data jack in the student rooms. A network adapter is a computer component, installed internally in a computer that allows the computer to access the network. Sometimes complications arise when installing network cards. Neither the MIO, nor the University, are able to take responsibility for such complications. Therefore, we recommend that you have a certified technician install the network card.
