Using a Personal Router
Usage of a personal wireless router has a few rules
- You can use it without permission as long as it is not connected to Virginia Tech's Network
- If connection to VT's Network is required, the faculty overseeing the research will need to submit a ticket with NI&S through 4help.vt.edu and explain the situation and request an exception.
