RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] 2.4GHz - educating end users about interference

[Jeffrey D. Sessler]

WEP was deprecated and manufactures can no longer include it in WAP’s certified 
after 2014 i.e. as WAPs are life-cycled you can’t support it even if you wanted 
to without moving them to an open SSID.

adding a “created by….” at footer of the document.

Ok, they are working on removing UMich specific items so we can make it
available.  Anyone who would just like to repurpose the text and create
something yourselves feel free.

I really think we should lean on each other for not only problems but

[Gray, Sean]

Wow I go away for a few days and the thread blows up!

Thanks for all the responses so far, all this feedback is very useful and 
greatly appreciated.

Great document from Walter Reynolds – this is the kind of thing we would put 
near elevators and in laundry rooms in student Residences, online in our 
support pages and maybe even just something similar to 2nd page as a screen 
saver on our library PCs.

Thanks

A poster in the right place would have a better chance of being read than an 
email, or something in a campus publication.

One of our problems is that there are multiple groups on campus trying to 
compete for the attention of the students.

You can have the most beautifully crafted media, but often it doesn’t appear to 
get consumed.

Me too. Nicely formatted, great graphics, clearly written. Just wondering how 
this would/could be used. Having a hard time imagining most or any users having 
enough interest to read the second line of this, never mind the second page, 
given everything else they are barraged with these days.

education drive for all of our wireless users with regards to the 2.4GHz 
spectrum and their impact on it. Does anybody have good examples of notices,

A poster in the right place would have a better chance of being read than an 
email, or something in a campus publication.

One of our problems is that there are multiple groups on campus trying to 
compete for the attention of the students.

You can have the most beautifully crafted media, but often it doesn’t appear to 
get consumed.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] 2.4GHz - educating end users about interference

[Johnson, Christopher]

We’d be interested in using this PDF as well if possible – it reminds me 
heavily of the Excel spreadsheet version of Wi-Fi interference and devices. 
Very informative and well done.

Although it’s sometimes a losing battle with 2.4GHz and some students just 
“don’t care” about the reason of these problems – it’s still good to have an 
answer – even if it’s one they don’t like.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] 2.4GHz - educating end users about interference

Thinking of creating a poster board and display in library and lobby’s in dorms 
during the 1st couple of weeks during the start of the semester for starters.

Hi Fellow Wireless Wizards!

This is my first post to the group, so please be gentle.

Here at the University of Lethbridge we are about to embark on a bit of an 
education drive for all of our wireless users with regards to the 2.4GHz 
spectrum and their impact on it. Does anybody have good examples of notices, 
posters etc. that they would be willing to share, that reference the evils of 
rogues and other interference sources citing the negative impact they have on 
the wireless network. Like everyone else on this list we are seeing huge 
influxes of our friends the wireless printer, Bluetooth devices and the like…

if only we could just turn 2.4GHz off.

Thanks

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] 2.4GHz - educating end users about interference

[Dexter Caldwell]

I hate to bring this up, but we have something all the Flusher.
http://www.furman.edu/sites/marketing/services/Pages/communications.aspx


It gets posted right above bathtroom urinals at eye level and on the inside of 
stall doors or on the wall above the toilets.   Students are paid to deliver 
it.  There are already little paper hold clips on the wall so they take one 
down and post the new one quickly.  Rather effective I might say.  It’s a 
narrow reader that gives you notice about upcoming events and such.   I’ve 
never seen one being delivered, but they magically show up.

Just saying…

try outreach and education, but there are just too many devices today that use 
2.4, and in many cases, users don’t even know it e.g. Apple’s Airdrop. You can 
minimize some of this by solving the reasons behind some of the interference 
sources i.e. install more WAPs to improve the service, reducing the rogue 
problem. Install residential printers to mitigate the need for student printers.

Most of our residential is now designed around dense 5 GHz, and while 2.4 is 
available, it’s mostly ignored.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] 2.4GHz - educating end users about interference

Hi Fellow Wireless Wizards!

This is my first post to the group, so please be gentle.

Here at the University of Lethbridge we are about to embark on a bit of an 
education drive for all of our wireless users with regards to the 2.4GHz 
spectrum and their impact on it. Does anybody have good examples of notices, 
posters etc. that they would be willing to share, that reference the evils of 
rogues and other interference sources citing the negative impact they have on 
the wireless network. Like everyone else on this list we are seeing huge 
influxes of our friends the wireless printer, Bluetooth devices and the like…

if only we could just turn 2.4GHz off.

Thanks

Sean

[Peter P Morrissey]

Me too. Nicely formatted, great graphics, clearly written. Just wondering how 
this would/could be used. Having a hard time imagining most or any users having 
enough interest to read the second line of this, never mind the second page, 
given everything else they are barraged with these days.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] 2.4GHz - educating end users about interference

Hi Fellow Wireless Wizards!

This is my first post to the group, so please be gentle.

Here at the University of Lethbridge we are about to embark on a bit of an 
education drive for all of our wireless users with regards to the 2.4GHz 
spectrum and their impact on it. Does anybody have good examples of notices, 
posters etc. that they would be willing to share, that reference the evils of 
rogues and other interference sources citing the negative impact they have on 
the wireless network. Like everyone else on this list we are seeing huge 
influxes of our friends the wireless printer, Bluetooth devices and the like…

if only we could just turn 2.4GHz off.

Thanks

Sean

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] 2.4GHz - educating end users about interference

[Tim Tyler]

I agree with this sentiment.  2.4 is a long-run losing battle.  We deployed
5 ghz nearly everywhere to minimize the need for 2.4.  I observe that
2/3rds of all devices automatically use 5 ghz.  So it really isn’t as big
of a problem as it could be.  I expect that number to improve each year.  I
have made attempts to educate students through RA’s, but I am not sure I
will do that each year.  Students really shouldn’t bring in their own
router, but it’s too time consuming to stop it.  I think because we provide
such wide spread access and try to make sure we support everything, this
problem really isn’t as bad as it might be.  Educating students does help,
but I am careful not to spend too much time worrying about it.

  I do still need to improve high density areas.

  Tim

You are fighting a battle that will never be won, and even a stale-mate is
unlikely.



IMHO, your best bet is to work toward abandoning 2.4. In the early days, we
did try outreach and education, but there are just too many devices today
that use 2.4, and in many cases, users don’t even know it e.g. Apple’s
Airdrop. You can minimize some of this by solving the reasons behind some
of the interference sources i.e. install more WAPs to improve the service,
reducing the rogue problem. Install residential printers to mitigate the
need for student printers.



Most of our residential is now designed around dense 5 GHz, and while 2.4
is available, it’s mostly ignored.

Hi Fellow Wireless Wizards!



This is my first post to the group, so please be gentle.



Here at the University of Lethbridge we are about to embark on a bit of an
education drive for all of our wireless users with regards to the 2.4GHz
spectrum and their impact on it. Does anybody have good examples of
notices, posters etc. that they would be willing to share, that reference
the evils of rogues and other interference sources citing the negative
impact they have on the wireless network. Like everyone else on this list
we are seeing huge influxes of our friends the wireless printer, Bluetooth
devices and the like…



if only we could just turn 2.4GHz off.



Thanks

Yes, if anyone has this, please share!  I have been looking for something
similar.  I guess I will be making something if nothing else is available.
