Ah I see. I wasn’t sure what they could/would be monitoring. I still don’t understand how they would block it if the computer is only connected by ethernet.

What kind of travel router were they able to block if you were connected to it over ethernet? I would think connecting by ethernet to a travel router that connects to a wireless router as a repeater would work.

The reality is that you had access to reliable internet, but they would only allow certain types of reliable internet. So you would need to communicate what your options were and work with them, or chalk it up to being an incompatible match at this point.

It doesn’t sound like the shelter staff is at fault if they’re just following procedures. Perhaps showing them an offer letter would have made them feel comfortable in allowing it for a little while longer.

I hope you keep trying and find a good match. I wish you the best of luck!
