Personal routers, including wireless routers, may not be plugged into the wired network as this can cause connectivity problems for other users on the network. Violations of this, or any other technology-related policy, may result in a student’s network connectivity being temporarily or permanently disabled. If additional data ports for multiple network devices are needed, you can bring a network switch with them to campus. Please note that these devices are not supported by the university, and
if they are configured incorrectly, your network connectivity may be disabled. To view a complete set of policies associated with DePaul’s residential network, please visit
