Shit i meant ethernet cable instead of hdmi
If you already have a ethernet socket on the wall, you don't need a modem, only a routeur. Just plug it, and plug your laptop on it, easy.

It's cool bro, starting from HDMI 1.4 you can do Ethernet over HDMI.
Why the fuck doesn't your school have wifi?

The dorms are shitty. Even though im paying 4,500 for one fucking semester.
I'm sure one of your dormmates has a wifi router. Just connect to it.
