Hey everyone, I’m planning to move into student housing for college starting in 2023. My computer doesn’t have any wireless networking, so I’m thinking about using an Ethernet cable to connect directly to the building’s Wi-Fi. I’d like a solution where I can plug my PC into the Ethernet port and it automatically joins the campus network. If you have any ideas or resources, that would be super helpful!

That's exactly what I was hoping for. The feedback isn't great, so I'll continue searching, but thank you for the recommendation!

This product is a portable wireless router I've personally tried.

You can use routers with DD-WRT or OpenWRT firmware to turn your WiFi into a WAN and share it among many devices. These options are usually preferable because they’re built as WiFi access points, offering stronger performance, better antennas, and improved power compared to regular clients.
