=Policy on the use of certain student owned devices to the dormitory=

−
==Personal Access Points==
 
−
 
 
−
Due to limited wireless spectrum on the 2.4GHz & 5 GHz frequencies used for Wi-Fi, dorm residents are not permitted to set up or use their own wireless networks.
 
−
The access points installed by MCLA communicate with each other through a central server so they actively avoid interfering with each other. When non-MCLA access points transmit they disrupt the ability of the MCLA access points to coordinate with each other and they degrade network performance for every user in the area.

−
==Personal Printers==
 
−
 
 
−
Most wireless-enabled printers create their own local wireless networks.  This behavior is often seen associated with AirPrint functionality. Use of these device has the same impact as installing a wireless access point and is prohibited. If your printer creates its own wireless network, please disable it and use it with a USB cable.  
 
−
MCLA does not support or troubleshoot connecting personal printers to the wired dorm network.  
 
−
 
 
−
==Personal Cell Boosters==
 
−
 
 
−
Some cell carriers can provide devices that mimic the behavior of cell towers but use a wired network connection rather than the cell network to conduct calls.  Similar to other wireless items covered by this policy they are not designed to be used in dense living arrangement such as dormitories and are not to be connected to the dorm network.
