Router for university

Hello,

I am trying to select a router for a friend at university. Basically I think like most university's that each hall is limited to one device (one mac address at a time).

However to get around this, I think a router might work. What do you guys think? I am thinking this because you can create your own network and NAT will do the rest. Is this right?

Many thanks

Hello and thanks for your response.

Will a router work for this setup? Am I right in thinking this then?

Many thanks

Thanks for the responses. Wouldn't I need to plug the router in first so that the port is given the routers mac address. Then what would I need to do?

Many thanks

I know that my friends uni does not need any pre registering mac addresses. So once the router is plugged in, what would need to be done?

Thanks for your response, very helpful.
