How to Connect Your Computer to the Internet

1. Connect to an available ResNet network (eg. RESNET-PROTECTED or RESNET-GUEST-DEVICE). Read about the differences in ResNet's available networks. To connect to RESNET-PROTECTED, use your UCSD username and password as the network credentials. Some devices need more configuration options for RESNET-PROTECTED which can be found on the Configure Android, Chromebook, and some Linux Devices to connect to RESNET-PROTECTED webpage. To connect to RESNET-GUEST-DEVICE, use password ResnetConnect and accept the acceptable use policy. If no page loads, please navigate to httpforever.com.  
   • Devices that will be using RESNET-GUEST-DEVICE should be registered through the Device Portal to ensure they can access UCSD resources when connected. Information about registration can be found on the How to Connect to RESNET-GUEST-DEVICE webpage. 
2. Familiarize yourself with the ResNet Acceptable Use Policy.

Ethernet access is not available in residential areas.

However, if you are a student with a disability and need access to Ethernet as an accommodation, please email the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) at osd@ucsd.edu to schedule an interactive process appointment. During this appointment, students will be able to share how access to Ethernet would mitigate a limitation imposed by a disabling condition. Additional documentation may be requested before the OSD makes a determination.
