Before Coming to Residence – ResNet System Requirements

To be able to connect to Queen’s ResNet system, you must have:

A Windows or Mac-based personal computer with a currently supported operating system.

A 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet compatible network interface or one available USB port for an external network adapter.

If your computer is wireless only, then you will need to install your own wireless router on your ResNet Ethernet connection.

Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable! Whether you connect your computer to the ResNet wall jack directly or use a wireless router, you must ensure that you have an Ethernet cable to plug into the wall jack. Most wireless routers have an Ethernet cable in the package, otherwise, you will need to purchase one.
