Ok, need some of that sweet, sweet ST tech support. So - as I mentioned earlier - Cam's in the Netherlands.

Posted by Uncle Six (aka Jim) Aug 19 '19, 12:24

In his dorm room there, he has wired internet - and currently has his Surface plugged in with an Ethernet cord.

What would be his best solution to get some wireless in his room? Is it as simple as buying a router?

And if so - what is a reasonable ST-approved recommendation?

Thanks, in advance!

Basically yes. I'd probably check in with the campus IT first to make sure they don't have any prohibitions on it or if they would prefer you just - oblique Aug 19, 12:29 4
