<p>It looks like they are allowed actually, here is what it says in the Appropriate Use Policy:</p>
<p>Students may connect personal or privately-owned routers and/or wireless access points to ResNet network segments, under the following conditions:</p>
<p>The residence hall in which the owner lives does not have 100% NUwave wireless coverage.</p>
<p>The relevant device(s) is/are registered in the legal name of their owner, using the ResNet Registration service.</p>
<p>The registrant, by virtue of connecting their router and/or wireless access point to ResNet, agrees to take sole responsibility for installation, registration, configuration, operation and security of their device(s).</p>
<p>A residence hall occupant installing a router and/or wireless access point will be held responsible for the actions of all parties connecting to and/or using their device(s), with or without their knowledge, and for adhering to IS-recommended security practices.</p>
<p>Information Services will not support routers or wireless access points, nor resolve any conflicts such devices may cause with other studentsÂ’ routers or wireless access points.
Northeastern reserves the right to reconfigure or disable the ResNet port(s) serving any private router and/or wireless access point which interferes with NUwave or any other University service.</p>
<p>In order to receive IS support to resolve a problem reported by a student using a privately-owned router and/or wireless access point, such problem must be recreated while connected to the ResNet port in question with privately-owned device(s) out of the connection path.</p>
