forgot to mention i have a laptop i'm trying to connect it to, is there a wireless adapter for both ends?
Yes
I'm the IT guy. You're fucked.
there is a wireless guest account but i get zero connection, think i need an account and password or some shit. what are my options here senpai
Unless that shit has PoE you can't do it passively.
Dude fuck off, this is a fucking 12 year old tier question you could easily google. Fucking kill yourself. Saged.
you need a nap
You can go get fired
>Unless that shit has PoE you can't do it passively
how can i be sure?
Go ahead and plug in. I bet they have port security that will lock the interface when you connect a foreign device, and they'll know it was you. Retard.
how can using company internet get me fired?
how would they be able to trace it to me? not like they can remotely control my computer or trace it back to me if device name is all they get right?
Fastest way is to check with your IT.
i have talked to IT guys about getting wifi they were really chill about it and said that it requires a "personal" account and they'll look into it for me. it's been a few months i wont wait, so if i cask em if them about ethernet having PoE what accessory would i need to link it with my laptop?
You're too stupid for Sup Forums
>You're too stupid for Sup Forums
that's why i come to ask you intelligent people a few questions before i leave
>How can they trace me?
MAC address of your network card, at minimum. They'll know it's you as soon as you plugin in the cable.
Are you trying to connect illegally or what? Why can't you just use the wifi?
i don't think IT guys would care or make a big deal, the wifi has a guest account but as soon as i connect it gives no internet access at all
>They'll know it's you as soon as you plugin in the cable
i can't use cable though, i was hoping there is a wireless adapter i connect on that port and on my laptop's ethernet for internet
Then ask them again.
Because if they really have a proper network setup with radius you ain't going to be able to do shit.
Sorry, but I simply do get it. Why do you use a guest account and not an account issued by the IT guys for you for the corporate network? Shouldn't you have special credentials and shit?
Oh, ok, I didn't see this
Well, you really need that personal account. Most probably you won't have any access without it.
i don't use a guest account, it gives no access. It would seem the IT guys maybe don't want to give me an account, who knows.
>Shouldn't you have special credentials and shit?
i'm warehouse worker not sales or management, just wanna use my laptop on breaks but i have not told them that'd be my use if that would be a poor case
Easy fix. Just get one of these cheap adapters and then plug a cheap usb wifi dongle into it. The dongle will default to a repeater and allow you to connect wirelessly from your laptop.
The item shown is an RJ45 to USB adapter.
And PoE won't help. Even through the cable it most probably will ask you for the credentials.
If you think the don't care, you could buy a WiFi router, connect it to that outlet, and then if the router has internet access, you can connect your laptop to the network of that router. Just in case, make that network hidden (it's not really hidden, but won't show up on peoples smartphones). Beware, depending on your company's policies, you may get fired.
>Beware, depending on your company's policies, you may get fired.
if i set of a fucking router of course i will get fired, this seems promising here
so is this what i need on my laptop? what do i need to connect on ethernet source, sorry for my ignorance
>amazon.com
No. That turns your usb port into an ethernet port. The adapter I showed turns an ethernet port to a usb port. Google "RJ45 to USB adapter". That plugs into the wall. Now you will have a USB port on the wall. A cheap wifi dongle will plug into it.
so i need these two on ethernet source and i should have an open wireless network?

Cheeky fuck.
I am just fucking with you. There is no power along those ethernet lines to power anything and even if there was it would not work.
Your best bet is to just get a cheap router that can act as wifi bridge or a wifi extender and extend the wifi closer to you.
If you did this at my job you would get fired. Ask IT.
