You might be able to run 2 of the hash board, but it is unlikely to run all 3 (although there are rare reports of people running on 110V).
Its not a matter of voltage, its a matter of current. Changing your voltage is not going to change the amps you draw out of the dorm room electrical outlet.
You could get a wifi to ethernet adapter, but wifi latencies may fool with your mining results.
What you didn't mention considering:
1) The noise - An S9 sounds like a vacuum cleaner running full out (and an old noisy one at that)
2) The heat - watts in = heat out. So you will be running the equivalent of a space heater full time in your dorm room
3) Fire hazard - most colleges consider miner fire hazards, since students due stupid things like throw blankets over them during room inspections
4) Illegal use of school resources. Anything provided by most colleges used for private profit is generally good for getting kicked out
Bitmain no longer owns the "Most efficient' title, although they still use it. They are however, the cheapest/TH.

Ok so I just want to run through this and make sure I have the correct understanding of everything you're saying.
So on 110v, I would be able to run 2 out of the 3 boards, meaning the speed would be apx. 2/3 of max speed.
So my thinking behind steeping it up to 220v is that the APW3++ has a maximum output of 1600W at 220v, which would allow me to run all three boards and have the maximum speed.
So outside of connecting to WiFi, what would my options be?
I have heard noise can become an issue. Have not come up with a solid plan other the to suck it up and deal with it.
Since it really doesn't cost me anything, I'm simply gonna crank the AC all the way down. Should keep it nice and frosty.
Combining 3 and 4 here, I can't find anything stating I'm not allowed to have one, nor anything saying I can't make a profit on campus; however, both of these require more research on my end.
I appreciate your input. Thank you very much.
