In a dorm your only supposed to use the schools wired connection to connect to the network. If I were to hook up a wireless access point, and hide the SSID, for myself and only myself to use, would the campus IT be able to trace it? I know its possible, but how easy is it and likely that it will be traced? Is there any better or more crafty ways of doing this?

I only ask because the only network connections are in the worst possible spot of the room and none in our common area, and I don’t really enjoy walking around my dorm with a 20ft cable.

Thanks in Advance
