Every people in HIT knows there is no free Internet on this campus which is a so-called member of C9 League. People in HIT want to get access to Internet in dorm needs to register a Ruijie account with student ID and room number, then the wired (unfortunately, the official Wi-fi signal “HIT-WLAN” is unreachable in any dormitory) Internet access will be opened in 24 hours with the default password “123456”. Windows user needs to install Ruijie client software , while Linux/Unix (Ubuntu/MAC) user needs to install mentohust. Disgustingly, the Ruijie server will remember the mac address first connected to Internet of every Ruijie account, and post warning to the computer with inconsistent network and system mac address. This monopolistic system makes every student who wants to use Internet have no alternative but register a Ruijie account and pay 30 yuan every month.
