In most cases, there is one Ethernet port available to each person residing in each room, i.e. singles have one port per room, doubles have two ports per room, etc. In rare cases, two or more students are placed in a room originally designed to house only one student. New Brunswick students facing this scenario may contact the Help Desk (732-445-HELP) to request a mini-hub. This is a device which permits multiple students to share one Ethernet port. Camden students should contact the Help Desk at help@camden.rutgers.edu or 856-225-6274 and a mini-hub will be signed out to you and your roommates. Newark students may visit the Newark Help Desk and sign out a mini-hub.
