I've gone 180 degrees on the WIFI at work issue over the last year. I
was the original "that's tough, use your data plan" guy, but as I've
dealt with problems (people getting on the WIFI access in the building
which was installed for the management to use their laptops
on...."hey! How did you get the password?" "Oh, Bob told me...") I've
given up and decided that a safe (emphasis on my data network being
SAFE) WIFI service with a fairly simple password that changed every 30
days is the best approach.
We have 3 tiers of wifi connections: an SSID for internal employees
only. An SSID for guests (clients) and an SSID for personal devices.
The last 2 are on a different subnet to the employee one so we are
safe. Bandwidth limits for each connection have been set. We tell
everyone that any personal devices found to be connected to the internal
SSID will be blocked from ALL connections.
"Bring your tablets! Connect your cell! Come one come all! Connect all
day, stay all night!"
works a lot better than fighting and searching for rogue hardware that
has been plugged in to USB ports.
We have just introduced some software that blocks things plugged into
USB ports that have not been authorised.

Sometimes a bit fiddly setting things up but seems to work ok. We need
to run it longer to evaluate it fully.
