I would buy a CAT 6 from Amazon. You can also buy CAT 5e, but don't buy plan ol' CAT 5 cables (they're too slow for gigabit Ethernet).\r\n\r\nRJ45 is just the connector at either end of the cable. RJ11 is a phone cable, for example. \r\n\r\nYou might be able to buy an Ethernet switch. This is my favorite 5-port switch. You just plug an Ethernet cable from the outlet in your room to the switch, then plug in the other 4 devices to the other sockets. There are also 8-port and 16-port (or more) switches, if it comes to that.\r\n\r\nThe only problem is, whatever gives out IP addresses in your dorm might not give out addresses willy-nilly. They may have a \"one device per room\" policy. If so, then you'd probably need to buy a router. Here's [a good one](https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-R6700-Nighthawk-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B00R2AZLD2/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=netgear+nighthawk\u0026amp;qid=1662564262\u0026amp;sprefix=netgear+%2Caps%2C169\u0026amp;sr=8-4). It doesn't have to be great - you only need Wi-Fi in your room, after all. The only downside to this is there may now be a \"double-NAT\" situation, and some apps don't like that at all.\r\n\r\nThe best thing to do would be to order a few CAT 6 cables and a router from Amazon just before you leave for school. That way, if you get there and see that that setup will work, you're aces. If not, just send the router back to Amazon.","subreddit_name":"AskTechnology","author":"tunaman808"},{"body":"We have mesh here (Orbi) ..
