The NAU ResNet program brings high-speed ethernet and DSL connections to the residence halls. Now you can hook up to the campus network and to the entire internet without tying up your telephone line. No more busy signals - you can surf the net and talk on the phone at the same time!

A ResNet connection is much faster than the dialup connection. Web pages and graphics load in a fraction of the time. Downloads that used to take hours take only minutes.

What does this service cost? That's the best part - it's free! ResNet is provided through a partnership between Residence Life and Information Technology Services. There is no charge for a ResNet connection, but you'll need a network adapter for your computer. This adapter is not the same as a modem. They're available at the NAU bookstore, starting around $20. The bookstore also carries network cables and other accessories for your machine.

Is your computer is powerful enough to handle networking? Check out the recommended hardware list on our Requirements page to see what we suggest for network use.

The ResNet Support page has information on getting help with your network set-up. If you'd rather do it yourself, go to the Quick Start Setup Instructions page. If you're already set up and ready to register for ResNet service, go to the online registration form.
