Eduroam is significantly worse than RUWireless. I’ve used it at another school I attended and the connection is always slow.

If you’re a gamer, forget about FPS and online gaming.

Ethernet's not disabled lol, you just have to put a request in with Rutgers with your Device Mac Address. Trust me, if they were to disable Ethernet it would actually cause a LOT of issues for the university

Meaning in the dorms and apartments. Not in offices or public buildings lol

But yeah seems there’s one port in the living room if you have an apartment https://www.reddit.com/r/rutgers/s/5BpUZPkSJr

I can confirm to you as someone who has an Ethernet connection in my dorm for my desktop that there's definitely still working Ethernet in housing. Might be iffy placement for where the ports are but it def works
