Notes:
- Before submitting a wired internet request, check the Wireless Internet page to make sure your device is on the correct network. Being on the incorrect network may cause a poor user experience.
- Need a wired connection for gaming? We highly encourage trying our BSU_Gadgets or BSU_GameConsoles wireless networks for gaming consoles first which are specifically designed for wireless gaming. BSU_GameConsoles has an open NAT type by default!
- Service target for a wired activation is three (3) business days.
- Requests submitted at the beginning of a semester may take up to seven (7) business days to complete.
Additional Information: Wired connections have a strict NAT type by default. Open NAT is available for gaming via an Open NAT Type Request. This request is typically required for gaming in a multi-player setting, party playing setting, game hosting, etc. Additional information about NAT types can be found on the ResNet website here: NAT Type Info - ResNet Website
