Going Wireless in my Dorm

If your dorm room is big enough to have a 40 foot cable stretching from your desk to your bed, you've possibly got the nicest dorm room I've ever heard of.

That said, pretty much any wireless router will work for what you want, just be sure to make the network secured with a non-default password to access it. Otherwise everyone else on the hall will be leeching your bandwith, and since most schools have bandwidth limitations nowadays, that could quickly get to be a problem.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Haha, I remember being so tempted to do that to my neighbors' networks back when I was stealing internet off of them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
