Wireless Routers - Not permitted for student use

Due to the ability to broadcast bogus IP addresses and the insecure nature of wireless routers (including Mac AirPorts and AirPort Express), they will not be permitted on campus. This decision was made after consulting with ACTAG (Albion College Technology Advisory Group), a representative group of faculty, staff and students. Many, but not all, routers have a port identified as WAN. If your device has a WAN port it is not permitted.
 

Wireless Access Points


However, wireless access points ARE permitted. These devices do not broadcast bogus IP addresses. We have tested and recommend the following Access Point devices:

Linksys WAP54G


Netgear WG602


Dlink DWL-2100AP
