Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 1810w Questions
I learned something from one of my higher ed customers. They put these inexpensive brass locks on their APs. Not because they provide great protection, but because it simplifies any insurance claims if they are stolen. The $2 lock let them bypass a ton of paperwork and get funded for a replacement quickly.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 1810w Questions
If you are installing in any quantity, do the math on the cost of the locks. You’ll likely find that you can have a lot walk away (and be replaced) before equaling the cost of the locks. If you do go the lock route, stick to the real Kensington locks. The knock-offs are easy to defeat. Instead of the Torx, consider using a non-standard head e.g Pentalobe that is less likely to be in an off-the-shelf driver set.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 1810w Questions
We’ve installed hundreds of the 720’s and have not had to use locks on them at all. I think the students realize this is their life line to the social world!

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 1810w Questions
The Torx is a size 6. We’re mounting to the wall and haven’t needed the Kensington locks. We just deployed 750 and are happy.
