Wired ResNet was first provisioned since year 1991 to provide in-room network connectivity to the campus network and Internet. Over the past 20 years, the Wired ResNet service has been upgraded many times to assure stability and quality.

Since each in-room connection is a dedicated 100Mbps switched Ethernet network connection, Wired ResNet users are expected to experience a higher data throughput than its Wireless ResNet counterparts. On the other hand, more prerequisite is required in order to use the Wired ResNet:

• Network cable is required.
• User needs to check the ethernet MAC address of the computing device.
• User needs to locate the wall outlet port number.
• User needs to submit an electronic registration.

• users are running applications which demand high bandwidth.
• the computing devices are not moving around, i.e. always connected to the same wall outlets.
