Weird wireless problem????

I am a college student and our dorms have wireless routers banned, but other students have found ways to get past this. (I can connect to their networks but the signal is to low for me to efficiently use the internet). We are required to download a CISCO NAC -Clean Access Agent-- I believe this is how they block the routers because a router is not able to talk to the network saying it has CISCO installed on it, but how can I get my wireless working??? Any suggestions please.

 

ok i know this isnt going to help.. but i have never heard of a router not communicating because it didnt have cisco on it.. though i am a college student as well and not the most knowledgeable in the area.. but i would thikn there is some other kind of filtering there.. maybe the colleges it department isnt filtering on the routing level but rather lower in the food chain.. say using one of those smart switches that run at level 3 as if they were a router.. that might be able to designate betwen the signal routers send to try to connect and what the smart switch sends redirecting it to a blackhole..

this doesnt really help the wireless side but assuming you have a wall ethernet jack could just have the wall signal go to a linksys switch allowing for multiple computer to use the same signal as long as they are all plugged into the linksys switch.. or if you can manage that then try to have a cat 5 cable go fromthe walljack to a wireless router.. that should give you wireless capabilities while still going through the wall signal..

another idea i just had is if you have a desktop you could put the access client on it and have 2 network cards installed in it.. bridging these would allow you to have the wall signal go to the desktop pc where itll find the cisco access client then from the desktop pc to a wireless router which should allow the pc to talk to wireless devices and provide internet etc...

let me know if any of these work.. im kinda curious now myself... xP
